You’ve asked me already.
Yet you want to know.
What need have you to question
Everything I say and do?
Being conventional is overrated.
Why? you ask. Because
I must be myself. Do I
Tell you to learn to play
An Instrument that no
One has heard of?
The answer is no.
What’s the point?
You want to know now.
I’ll tell you the point.
The point is,
Stop asking me why.
