Because you override global WP_Query with your own query_posts and you ignore page in there – all you set is showposts (which is deprecated and from wp 2.1 you should use posts_per_page instead).
But to be honest, you shouldn’t use query_posts either (especially in this case).
So how to do this? Use pre_get_posts filter to modify global query according to your needs.
