Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Like Being Oblivious

I boycotted the news
many years ago, maybe
thirty, or forty

If other people would
stop talking about it,
I would have no clue
about
politics or
school shootings.

I like being oblivious.
It makes
faerie-watching and
photographing orbs
in my flower gardens
much easier.

I shall continue to keep
the negatives on the other 
side of my self-wall, feeling
safe here with my
garden delights
and my
magical ideas.
