Why This?

How thick is a surface?
Why this and not that?
The only question you should ask
Or maybe what is the deepest human longing?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
I’m complex and intellectual
But I will say it is to be loved
Why this and not that?
The only question you should ask, or maybe
Longing to make everybody cry
I want us all to cry together
And what is that sound that is haunting my throat?
