Writers love the word why
As they know very well that
Life without secrets is a lie
Readers like pages that reveal
The strange and the unknown
One by one, like onions to peel
And tales that wear mystery
Like a shawl or even a mask
Carry with them the secret key
That one mind tells another
Until a literal tsunami exists
Causing among text lovers a stir.
