BECAUSE?

 

“They are talking about him behind his back.
But nobody is taking to him. Why not?
Why won’t they come right out and tell him?”
 
“Because?”
 
“Well,  because you just can’t go right up to
a person  and say, ‘You can’t do what you’re
doing. You can’t be the way you are?’”
 
“Because?”
 
“Well, because – you know – you just can’t
be that way. Besides, what would it be it be like
if everyone did whatever they wanted to do?”

“Because?”
 
“Well, I don’t know. It just causes stress.
It makes things queasy and uneasy. It allows
agita to be sitting in every seat in the room.”
 
“Because?”
 
”Because!” “Because!” “Because!”
You keep saying, “Because. Because!
Why do you keep doing that?”
 
“Because …."
