The Question Before Us
To B or not to B?
To C or not to C?
One philosophical question
followed by another,
alphabetically,
& adding up to two.
To P or not to P?
A cruder, far more
out-of-order,
question.
The first two are British?
The last American?
No, not necessarily.
Everyone Ps.
Far more American
are the questions
To I or not to I?
To U or not to U?
Z is for Zebra.
Z is for zees,
as in to snore,
as in to sleep.
To Z or not to Z.
That is the question.
