Which?


Which is older,
an acorn or an oak?

Which is deeper,
an eye or an ocean?

Which is harder,
a child or a parent?

Which is wiser,
a question or an answer?

    Dead On

    The answer is an arrow
    The heart pinned to woe
    The arrow in the scroll

    In flight its feathers whistle
    For leaves of vanished trees
    The answer is an arrow

    It hurtles from dark cursives
    Whose riddles puzzle readers
    The arrow in the scroll

    Scholars are splitting atoms
    Miniaturizing nannos
    The answer is an arrow

    Encrypted acrostics
    Hieroglyphs on stone
    The arrow in the scroll

    It shatters consciousness
    Each time it strikes home
    The answer is an arrow
    The arrow in the scroll
