puff

 

i carved apathy

into a poem.

i wanted no one to feel

anything;

an emotional blank.

 

the kind of words you just

stare at

that erase your sobs

from inside.

 

i chiseled tears

into vapor.

i wanted to bore some

out of the popular:

that words on a paper

matter.

 

'cause a rhyme

can be happenstance,

just like

clouds can form into animals

at a random gust.

 

puffy, pretty.

but insignificant.

 

like a stanza.
