He asked her why
And she leapt
And she tumbled through the stars,
Fizzling and burning like grease on a hot stove,
Spilling secrets like blood,
Hurtling through the galaxy with the
Wind as her tail
And memories trickling drops in her wake,
And breathless she skidded to a stop
And rubble gathered at her feet,
But with her blurred blue eyes she blinked

She asked him why
And he turned
And said, why not?
