Whatever

Please forgive me, but I wish to post another of my own poems called, "Whatever".

This is intense imperfect.

Only when what thing is in me is in truth identified, and when that thing in me is true in and of itself, and if its definition in linguistic expression merits universal agreement, may I entreat my love to respond to the thing with her always virtuous purpose.
