Aloof

I Spin like the last planet in the universe
A most distant object
detached from existence
tucked away from the world of words
removed from respect or values
insensitive to all human beliefs

My indifference is unprejudiced
not right or wrong
not excessive 
nor defective
more a pitiless apathy
For I am 'Aloof'
A brand new breed
residing in a 
stone-cold
callous 
environment
billions of light years
from ridiculous emotions
 
You may scream your expressions with a flair
it worries me not if you glare
I have no intention to share
because I simply don't care
For I am 'Aloof'
too removed to bother
too remote to compare
Your arguments will fall on
a deaf ear
it does not matter if
you are sincere
For in my 'Aloof' atmosphere
I don't care.
I don't care!
I don't care?
