to present the question into whether
or not “America” is an idea or a place

to wonder at whether an “American”
as person can represent some specific

to follow that with a question regarding
the total number of possible responses

and then to ask how such responses
might possibly be limited in scope

and then to wonder in regard to
national legitimacy as a viable construct

and then to wonder in regard to national
legitimacy as a sustainable construct

and then to wonder what might replace all
which is already socially accepted as such

and then to consider the issue of
food beginning as if that were basic

one might feel compelled
to ask about water or not

one might feel compelled to wonder in turn whether
“ownership” like “America” is either a place or an idea

one might feel compelled to ask what all
of this has to do with an idea of a place

one might feel compelled to return to this as
a procedural interrogation into here as a topic
