Your Great Indifference

 

Once I conquered all distances
I set out for your interior

Quashing all resistance,
Hesitations, and signs of fire

You had questions

Clinging to thoughts

I stripped them off of you
Brought your body along

And now it's just your great
Indifference that turns me on

I bring you mountains of flowers
I run joggers off cliffs

Got you the latest technology
Sewn into your wrist

But you don't twitch a nostril
You barely sneer a lip

Powered by a global boredom
That leaves us incontinent

Somehow you keep the mystery

in ice like a sphinx

At a reception for rich children
Who'll need decades of therapy

It's your great indifference

That truly gets to me

Robert,this is so clever! I truly loved it.

One line in particular stood out from the rest-

'I stripped them off you
brought your body along'

fantastic!
