Apathy

…

The disinclination of the counterpart

To allow a conversation to be a conversation

Like the tug of war rope dropped leaving a limp flag

Not even tied to a center point, no nucleus developed

Random scattering of electrons dissipating cloud

Self-destructive of relationship being a living entity formed

Between the active investment of a duality of parties

The gravity defunct in all this pensive hypothetical

Piano keys pounding melodious impossibility

Beating chords unstruck and dissonance muted

The apathy of no concern to emulate an argument

The molecule of protest to be concerned to froth above indifference

The caulking in an unsealed window, air meandering between

A feckless thermostat projecting numbers, intentions

Knowing the regulation is a nest of wires disconnected

Pushing buttons on a robotic box, infertile change, barren womb

Vasectomy snip-snip in the night knowing and not knowing

The circulation of potential draining in an omnipresent dissipation

Careening into a bizarre notion of god, of plans, karmic situational rationalization

To justify the flake-out non-response, the unanswered texts or messages

Like communication is fertilizer and silence is the only method of weeding

Of starvation by apathetic sterility, the austere truncation

Incapable of mixed emotion as if there was ever a droplet

That this end mattered or had value, that a duality was even present for an inkling of drops

Congealing on the tip of a vein mapped to a heart, directions, turned-around

Vagabond type hobo network of thumbs-up interstate love songs

Praying on the kindness of a kernel of blind openness that this face was not blankness

The space between atoms in the universe, the flow place, but rather the landing

The threshold gathering of matter, of gravity’s conflux accreting in the emotional language

To challenge the logical into what empowers being
