Answers

I look at my assignment sheet.
"Find the answers," it says.

I look in the dictionary for the
answers, but I can't find them.

I look in the encyclopedia for the
answers, but I can't find them.

I look on the Internet for the
answers, but I can't find them.

I ask my parents if they ever
encountered the answers.
They shake their heads no.

I interrogated my older sister
if she ever knew the answers.
She shook her head no.

I stare at the wall, thinking about
the answers, wondering
what they could be.

Suddenly, I grab a paper,
and start writing.

This is what I wrote:

I have found the answers. They are
all around us, floating like bubbles,
hoping someone will come and pop
it so the soap of wisdom will fall
on the popper.
When someone does pop it, he finds an answer to a problem or
somethings he's been pondering
over.
The person who popped that bubble
will store that information safely
in their heads so they can think
in on it once in a while.
There are answers for everything,
from impossible things to the most
simplest of things.
The answers are quite easy to find,
you just have to look in the right
place, at the right time, and
in the right way.
I hope that I will one day be an
answer hunter.
In other words, the answers are
waiting for me.
