Why Do You Ask?
By Kate Barnes

I can't make
any story
about my life,

tonight. The house
is like an overturned
wastebasket:

the radio
is predicting
more rain.

I ask my dog
to tell me
a story, and she

never hesitates,
"Once upon
a time," she says,

"a woman lived
with a simply
wonderful dog. . ."

She stops talking
"Is that all?"
I ask her.

"Yes," she says,
"Why do you ask?
Isn't it enough?"
