Quinzaines

The quinzaine is a probably-modern 3-line, syllabic form in which the lines have 7/5/3 syllables; the first line is a statement and the remaining lines are questions about that statement.

Notes

I feel like the trick to writing a good quinzaine is probably gonna be in the questions on a meta level, cause it's trivially easy to make a basic statement on a deep subject and then ask pretty much any two questions about it, no need to actually answer them.

   We've achieved stone consciousness.
   What were we thinking?
   Who's at fault?

   Every star will die one day.
   Do we know the hour?
   Do we care?
