why why why why why

why do I get lost in my artwork for hours at a time?
why do I sit in a recliner for days not watching the droning tv?
Why do I use my tv as a radio?

why do I not sort my closet?
why do I resist dyeing my white roots?
why do I avoid the worst tasks for days at a time?

why do I get jury duty again?
why do cars nearly blow me off the highway?
why do I feel twenty when I am seventy-four?

why?
