A question needs an answer or it dies
an awkward conversational demise.
But all the questions hunt for are replies;
if truth the object is, it’s been forgot.

I’ve long ignored the evidence my eyes
and ears collect in all my futile tries,
so seeing it in words is a surprise,
but having seen it I deny it not.

A question gets an answer, it is true,
but true and answer needn’t be the same.
And auditors mishear, deny or duck
more often than they will attend to you.
So answering’s more likely trope or game
than loosing truth, and dialogue is luck.
