To Jo:

    Who knew where he was
But who wouldn't tell
    He was confused and lost
Who wasn't
    Who knew

    How do you think?
Not what do you think
    Nor where
Nor who
    Nor why
Not even when do you think
    How do you think?

        Why
The ultimate query
To express confusion
To establish motive...Why?

From Jo:

I knew where he was
But I didn’t tell
Because nobody asked me
He was lost and confused
I knew 

How do you think?
He asks
With your head
Or with your heart
Or with both if you please
Whichever works for you
Think hard 

Because
The answer to his question why
To reveal my motive
Because I care about him
