apathetic

i don’t know much of anything 

four tires, sour air, messy carriage

i don’t know much of anything

notebook, tattered home, friendly eyes

i don’t know much of anything

conversation, unexpected, sympathetic

i don’t know much of anything 

who i loved, apathetic

little i still know, but opposites are everything. 

wasted.

barred oak mossy pasture, move through you

cherry plastic cotton liner, suffocate ephemeral 

who are you to let me be

who am i to wish you stay 

sandy raindrops tilted trees, run away 

rocky pine rubber laces, permeate conditional 

what am i if not your means

what are you when counting seconds 

undeserving certitude.

deliberate contempt.  

fervently innocuous. 

gravitate toward thoughtful, honest and extraordinary

wasted.
