Don'T Bother Asking

The door slammed - they walked out
They had had enough
          Bright beams of sunlight
Made it difficult to see where they were going
             Yellow taxicabs
Hurried by on a busy street
               Even this early 
In the morning
          They couldn't stop arguing 
           Which words had been exchanged?
Why did their dad rush out?
Don't bother asking - you won't get a straight answer
They continue to rush away
       As morning evolves into afternoon
MAYBE THERE ARE NO ANSWERS
