My mother tells stories of how as an infant i would love car rides because car rides meant family time and the loud boom baps and humorous style of hip hop from the early 2000’s.

a question that reflects the whole human race and what it means to be a human being.

From one angle‚ it is simply a Petrarchan sonnet‚ written with a slight variation on rhyme scheme – but that variation‚ taken deeper‚ reveals new layers of meaning.
