Why Do I Do What I Do

In English,

We don’t end sentences in because

Nor do we start with it either

For there’s always a reason

And no matter what

They’ll always be a reason.


That’s why they always ask my reasons

Why do you study mandarin?

Why not French or your mother’s tongue?

How do you know you like them?

How do you know you’ll get there?

Do you know how many you have failed?

Why would you want a second degree?

In linguistics of all things?

What do you plan on doing with that?

Why don’t you plan? Why do that?


Where do you keep your why?

Six feet underground?

Secrets hidden down,

Where are your why’s?

Where are your reasons?

Why?


Because.


Just like the universe

I do because.
