The Question

 

As the man turned to respond, the question fluttered and hung quite literally.

“Did you understand what was said?”

The man pondered for a moment, thinking of something clever to say.
“I don't know what you want from me, it really is an indirect question, one really I can't grasp, I mean, you have to put it in a way so that someone, could… answer it, if anyone!”

“Well I do agree that it is a question that requires you to look deep inside yourself; I mean the answer is in everyone isn't it?”

“I'm sure that it is but I don't know if it's up to me to interpret the significance of it!”
All my life I've struggled to understand, and as my life begins to turn that final curve, I start to get anxious and begin to worry that quite possibly,
I might never be able to answer that question.
