Welcome to lake indifference
Here you will find the vacation home of every man I have ever loved.
Starting with cabin 208
Occupied by all the men I accidentally loved in high school.
Or at least I thought I loved.
Ripples of lard peel from their skin,
as they point at a blinding screen,
displeased from muffled voices,
yet not the slightest alarmed,
to an iron puddle gathering,
in cracked gravel lots.
They smile
Well-meaning intentions
But how it hurts
Your brow furrows
You frown
At the impudence
You speak as if
You know me well
But knowing me
As a child
Does not mean
In this world of grief and strife,
I carry with me, my one true companion.
This companion is indifference.
I walk through with him,
Never unhappy
Never unsure
In this world of grief and strife,
I carry with me, my one true companion.
This companion is indifference.
I walk through with him,
Never unhappy
Never unsure
a guy was laid out on a hot summer day located on 116th between pleasant and 1st avenue
unknown if he was knocked out, passed out, homeless
or even dead
he appeared to be alive
saw his stomach breathing up and down
Don't discern me to be rude,
I'm not up to talk of all the bothersome things
racing in and out of my mind
All thoughts of perplexity
Zoning in and out,
Breathe.
Anger rushes to me,
