Why Do Anything?

CEE

I don’t know
I don’t have an answer for you...

Thus, in his end, the Poet-sirrah closes with prose...
This, from the CEE novella, The Two:

“Und...there was Walther.
“I did not see him drink too much, but perhaps once or twice. Excess, so celebrated by you in the West, was abhorrent to him. Ernst’ manners at table, disgusted him...I recall they came to blows, once. His only vice, was to hide in the background, as Heinz preached Party doctrine, and to mock as though he was Heinz as a puppet, including a puppet face that was genius! And Heinz never knew, though we always fell down laughing.
“Walther listened calmly to the speeches; he seemed more to like reading them in the paper. Was always respectful of women. When we marched into Poland, a blond Pole girl came up to Walther and gave to him a loaf of marble rye. He humbly handed her his toilet kit, then stood tall as the Kommandant screamed at him, later.
“Walther did not speak out of turn, he did not glory in himself, I often saw him lost in thought, and I even saw him pray. But...when you looked into his eyes, you saw nothing. Not the blind fervence of Heinz, not the foolishness of Ernst, not Joachim’s quiet resolve. Not even my impudence. No. You saw nothing in Walther’s eyes, for there was nothing there to see.”
“Siggy pulled long and deep on the disappearing smoke, then mouthed a cloud, which he looked through to Mappy, grim.
“What was there, but for Walther to become a guard at Dachau?”

...so, I don’t know
I don’t have an answer for you
