There is definitely satire in this poem and there is also some repetition in there too. I'm pretty sure the theme of this poem is to be more confident in yourself because these days people are turning there sentences or answers into questions either because they aren't sure of what they're saying or that it's a habit that they've developed when talking to someone. I chose this poem because it's interesting and I kind of understand what he's talking about. He even says that these days that we keep turning our sentences into questions even though they aren't, he says it in this quote here " Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know?)’s have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences? Even when those sentences aren’t, like, questions? You know?" In the end, I'm pretty sure that the message he trying to send is to be more confident in yourself and stop making your sentences into questions when they're not. He says this too "it is not enough these days to simply QUESTION AUTHORITY. You have to speak with it, too." In this poem his message was quite straight forward, well, most of the messages in his poems are but this one is especially straight forward.

It is ironic your theme is about confidence and your statements of theme are not confident.
