brautigan's riddle

how did you write the things you wrote
what made you leave without a note

was it a sin to know so much
or did you feel you'd lost your touch

how did you know the things you knew
what made you see a different view

was it a gift you got from god
or did some muse give you the nod

how did you think the things you thought
what were the demons that you fought

was someone there inside your head
or was it something that you read

how did you see the things you saw
what made you different from us all

was there a message in the end
what made you break instead of bend
