They Ask Why

A certain person wondered why
a big strong girl like me
wouldn’t keep a job
which paid a normal salary.

I took my time to lead her
and to read her every page.
Even minimal people
can’t survive on minimal wage.

A certain person wondered why
I wait all week for you.
I didn’t have the words
to describe just what you do.

I said you had the motion
of the ocean in your walk,
and when you solve my riddles
you don’t even have to talk.
