Defining Reasons

I ate your spinach because it was there and you, like an anorexic rabbit, ignored it, and motioned to my plate. You said, *How can you go on living like a priest in a whorehouse? Temptation after temptation, yet still you stay celibate, your tissues clean of semen, your hands folded above the waist, as calloused as your traveled feet.* When does the bird fall it's offspring from the nest in a spring with a shortage of worms?
