Lost Inquiry

today i took the sheets that have been sitting in the closet and finally put them on my bed.

they smell of how you used to and it terrifies me

that in my dreams, i'll be able to see you standing right in front of me, talking.

explaining concepts and ideas that my mind will never comprehend

because you lived on the left side of your brain

and i live on the right side. 

together, we made

abstract science

artistic math

creative chemistry

but with you gone

i'm just alone on the right side.

i have no base, hypothesis, or root.

there is no inquiry.
