POEM| If I Stare At The Sun For An Hour

If I stare at the sun for an hour
will my eyes fail me?
will my skin burn?
will I forget where I am?
will I forget who I am?

If I stare at the sun for an hour
will I sweat profusely?
will my body shut down?

will I see you?
will my life flash before my eyes?

If I stare at the sun for an hour?
will I appreciate life more?
will I love myself more?
will I change?
will I lose my mind?

If I stare at the sun for an hour
will I die?
