Have I Lost the Ability to Care Anymore?

The ‘go bleep yourself’ slips 

so easily 

Out

My manner is steel, titanium 

burning white

I care no more 

Despite

Family, friend, stranger 

at night, at day, in dreams

I care not one iota

About

your plight

I fought so long

I strive for ease

To come and lay 

Up on, I cease

my brow, it suffers

Naught 

a bit, I care less

Minus this

Plus that

A raging brook

a gentle stream

of doubt

does not linger 

or wreck me out

I care no more 

so fine it is

The rocking horse

and whirly wiz

From childhood to 

this remiss

I don’t give, 

So, fess up please

or

You can leave

me

a shadow, a nod

a blessed,

whatever it is,

The leathered

black, verses

you grip

Causes unknown

but for sure you do

fire that mouth, your

lips-

anyhow,

Know one’s home,

No care here

the show is over

I have not time

to riddle about

your blinded

Faith

This is me, see

Me now

if you care 

to drop the crap

perhaps I’ll stop

and give a care,

Otherwise,

care has left

it seems,

perhaps for good.
