paranoia
turning heads
a few understood
shaking hands and
shaking lungs
vibrating chemicals of concentration
burning in frustration, disappointment, concern
fear.
feet chase that white rabbit down
chase that rabbit down
fall in the crevice so accidentally
found
but everyone wakes from the dream
everyone finds two empty hands
capturing pearls in a bathroom stall
no one mentions
what can be assumed
all the caring people left unaware
and the intellectuals change the subject
Author notes
you can say you don't care
but you didn't show up.
eyes that follow the past with envy
but won't fix the present
i cannot find sympathy
heck i miss you
and i cry about you
but i know what's important,
and you're still looking.
