in the words of the sex shop on the road from madrid to toledo

why not? as in why not
take a chance and buy some kinky ass shit
in a strip mall building on the side of a Spanish highway?
you can think of many reasons I’m sure
but do any of them hold up to the pure abrasiveness of this question?
the power of the negative
the tauntingness of the words 
like a middle school bully
one of those questions you could fill with answers
and never fully answer enough.
needless to say, we do not stop,
we do not come indoors,
make our way into the building of love,
but I carry the question with me,
beating in my chest
much farther.
