Sometimes it’s just
about me
Not you
or her
or him
or anyone else
just me
Just this
ten car pile-up
I call my life
Just the acid
eating away at my stomach
Just my fear
of what shit
will come tomorrow
Who said what
to whom
about what they said
to so and so
and the outfit they
wore while doing it
doesn’t hit my radar
Healthcare plans
evil politicians
The neighbor’s new
car
What I had
for dinner last night…
I got nothin’
World events
weather conditions
mating rituals of
exotic, endangered species
Not paying attention.
Because
sometimes it’s just
about me

All those issues, actions, people, revolve around the beautiful planet that is You. Love that edginess of words, the street parlance chocolateyed in a poem. Oh Sarah, you make me chocolatey.

I love this because it’s honest and to-the-point…and you’re right - sometimes the gossip and b.s. just isn’t important!
