How is it going?

what do you mean when you ask me this question
do you mean how could it possibly be continuing
or perhaps in what way will it get where it's heading
what is the it
who is the how
where is the going
tell me, now
I'm concerned with the thought
that we don't know what it means
yet asking for good:
how are the seams?
how with a verb
how might it go
say it five times
meaning unload
language, you fickle shit
constraining, draining
wielded for what?
to say how it's going
