Why?


Why?
Have you ever wondered why?
Just because?
It’s the question most asked
And the one most often answered wrong.
The question why is tricky.
The person asking is also tricky.
When a child asks it’s out of curiosity…
Or to be annoying.
When a teenager asks it’s out of a desire to rebel.
When an adult asks it has deeper meaning.
But when I ask, it’s to trip you up.
Yeah, that’s right.
I want you to sweat a little.
I want to see you fidget.
I want you to question everything.
Why?
Because
You.
Don’t.
Know.
