That if a word starts with q
It usually means something.
It’s a word that names things that are
Important, or interesting, or special
Like queen, quality, and question

If I can use the q in scrabble
I feel like the master
Even if I don’t win.

With a q word or two
I’m supplementing my last one
And adding this to the queue.

that many dollars a year
this many friends on facebook
that much hair
this many books read

this much time in school
I refuse to kowtow to numbers
For my quality cannot be quantified.

Come, comrade.
Let us start this
revolution.
Let us question and
answer together.
Let us overthrow,
rebuild, and prosper.

Where how or

it’ll come
when it’s
