I DON’T KNOW!

MAYBE….

The Talmud, as they say,

says, “Teach thy tongue

to say, ‘I do not know!’”

I do not know why this baby

died at 3 months. Maybe ….

I do not know why God

made tree leaves green

and granite grey. Maybe….

I do not know why water

begins to freeze or melt
at 32 degrees and begins
to boil at 212 degrees Fahrenheit -

but not always. Maybe….

I do not know why cows moo, dogs

bark and cats meow and the whole

woods is a symphony orchestra

some summer nights. Maybe….

I do not know why God bumped

me into you today and why friends

move away tomorrow. Maybe….

I don’t know why the ocean seems

to stop here and not go any further,

but sometimes it doesn’t. Maybe….

I don't know why you said that.

I don't know why I wrote this.

I don't know why you're reading this.

Maybe....
