2020 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 15
For the 2020 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets write a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Today’s prompt is to write a meaning of blank poem.
For today’s prompt, take the phrase "Meaning of (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles could include: "Meaning of Life," "Meaning of Love," "Meaning of This," and/or even "Meaning of Socks Constantly Losing Their Pairs."
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

once and for all for all they seem.
Is it a touch of indigestion
or an incredible astral projection?
For millennia, people have wondered so
let's give answers now as if we could know.
