dare 
 
 
 
am i here, or all sorts of anywhere?  
should i trust, should i even care?  
am i dust, finally laid so bare  
too far, too near; all & nothing to spare 
 
am i ruin, showing signs of wear? 
could a cast or cure effect a repair?  
am i wooing; or white from my shadows’ stare 
could impasse or impure describe this affair 
 
am i champion or chained to this chair?  
would i to win, or be cautions’ compère?  
am i known in a circle that’s built to share?  
would my will be my worth, or just ‘au contraire’ 
 
am i something, or that which makes me swear? 
should i heal while continuing to tear?  
am i only small; yet the biggest scare?  
i am me, i should be; i should see, should i dare…
