Oysters, Meerkats, Turnips

Does a pattern care
If it continues?
Well, surely some do.

How much of what is
Really wants to be?
What is that pattern

Of really wanting
To exist? And when
Did it first exist?

There’s the argument
That whatever is,
Whatever will be,

Must have always been
Inherent. Wanting
Is a blossoming,

More than a seeking,
In that case, although
It sure looks and feels

Like an absence and
Not an inherence
Among what’s hungry.
