A Simple Question ... With Lower Case "Answer"

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 
am I all there is?
hers or his
hit or miss
kick or  kiss
up or down
city or town
 
but always true
to 
red, white, and blue
green will do
ditto for yellow
goodbye or hello
 
dog or cat
this or that
all of the above
with hate or love
the
more 
options
the 
more
excuses
to 
not be you
or 
anyone else
standing or sitting
on a shelf
none other than myself

this simple question
has many an answer
and I am
all of them
(ahem)
 
say I
to
madam or sir
 
SO
my friend
this "answer"
must end

    1. On the verge of a 76th birthday seems
      a reasonable time to get existential about
      my time on good old Planet Earth
