A Perfectly Reasonable Question (Free verse) by baughworm
"There is really nothing more to say-- except for why. But since why is
difficult to handle, must take refuge in how."
--Toni Morrison
Through the keyhole
I saw your bare back
Arching, Writhing, Glistening
His knobby hands
Riding your hips
Like a coin operated
Horse at the supermarket.
I wait
At our kitchen table,
With a one word question
That you will dance around
And ultimately fail to
Answer.
