Or so He Sphinx - The Speed of Sound in Seawater

I’m not the one you should be approaching

All wrapped in riddles

Untouched by

Consideration

Only answers

I’m not the one you’re after

Which creature at first goes on four legs?

By mid-day two, by evening three?

With each leg added

It grows weaker

What creature could this be?

There are two sisters

Close, so close

One births the other

And in turn she

Then bears her sister

By what device

Could these two sisters be?

You’re such a fascinating subject

Tell me who built you, feline girl

Out in the desert

What surrounds you?

Nothing but rhymes and sand dunes

I’m not so sure that we’re all alone here

I think I’m in love with every one

That silken promise so dismissive

I think I’ll just go home now

Our blurring boarders, so confounding

Where you begin and where I end

Chimera, crossbreed our composition

Nothing but rhymes and sand dunes
