Why? She Wondered
Why? She Wondered
Sit there, he said
On the left seat of the sofa
Why? She wondered
When she always sat on the right
Eat this, drink this
Why? She wondered
Because he liked them
But she didn’t
Don’t talk like this
Why? She wondered
People gossip, he said
But she didn’t care
Don’t walk like this
Don’t wear this
It goes on
Why? She wondered
He needed a companion
Maybe a pet
Or a servant
Certainly not a wife
