You, with a capital Why?

by Drora Matlofsky

You.
You, with a capital Why?
Why you, with a capital double-You?
Why? Why?
Why You?
Why me?
Why me, with a small 'm'?
Me, I'm small, so there is no Why?
No capital Why?
I'm just here to ask Why?
I am just here for You,
Because of You
With a capital Why?

Quotes of the Day

A poet needs to keep his wilderness alive inside him. To remain a poet after forty requires an awareness of your darkest Africa, that part of yourself that will never be tamed.
