Why? while reading Shuntaro Tanikawa

Why?
by me(whatever)

The poet I'm reading,
does not want to write,
does not want to speak,
does not know his words.

Yet he writes.

Why?
I contemplate the question in my brain.
Is it for money?
Pride?
Reassurance?
Love?
Duty?

No, no, I don't think that's it.
I don't think so, yet...
The question roams on.

Why?
