Absolutes?

a poem by Devika

How dear is dear,
How far is far,
How sweet is sweet,
How sour is sour?
How slow is slow,
How high is high,
How heaven is heaven,
How nigh is nigh?
How much is much,
How new is new,
How I am I,
How you are you?
How right is right,
How negative is negative,
How absolute is absolute,
How relative is relative?
I seek the answers and I find
More questions creeping into the mind…
