Ordinary Questions
Annmarie Throckmorton, M.A.
In my life experience ordinary questions, whether asked casually or as malicious probes, can have painful answers:
Where are you from?
Are you married?
Do you have children?
Answers of absolute truth are so complex that I cannot spell them all out in one disgorge. I store those painful complications behind closed doors and try to keep the windows covered. Why must they keep rattling the doorknobs, prying at the windows, peeking in?
I am old now, please stop asking. I want only peace, quiet and happiness now.
