Pondering Squandering

everyone likes to think
everyone loves to think
that they don't need to

know

what's so important
as a venus fly trap 
snapping that i 
already don't 

know

that i even
asked but
i thought

it was slow
and painless
so i wrote it

not thinking
thoughts could
be caught

and my words
twisted and 
taken to

fahrenheit 
in different
degrees and can

be still 
thought
below freezing

without
the breath
of you saying

no 
but
worse

yes

I think I will stick with the metric system.

I'm not standing up for the USA for not converting, but I've always been interested in sacred geometry.
