What do you know about me?
Unsmart, Unselfless, Unnice, Unsaid.
I think the better question is,
What do you think you know about me?
Words glide over me,
I have stopped caring.
What do you wonder about me?
Nothings upon nothings upon nothings.
I thought there would be more.
Is that all I am to you?
You say nothing,
I say goodbye.
What do you remember about me?
Written and unwritten,
Once remembered,
Am I now forgotten?
You can’t forget something
You never knew.
What do you say about me?
Listening and lonely and lost,
I heard everything you said.
How interesting, you didn’t know?
Eyes on you,
Ears crying out in pain.
What do you think about me?
Nobody sees, nobody cares, nobody loves you.
Words written in bold ink.
Did you know I’m blind?
Eyes forward,
Don’t look back.
What do I know about you?
Enough that I know that you can’t hurt me,
You can’t hear me,
And you don’t know me.

I ask you, sir!
Of late, inanimate
Toothless, tethered
Can’t jump turnstiles
"Agree, align"
"Ask, but smile"
Mute, asinine
"Uncalled, unnice"
"Pushy, out-of-style"
You know, I’m fine
"A wish, undone"
"Exit, condone"
"Look back, smile"
"Unearth, sift"
"Write," but why?
Unbonded, servile
Alive, a life
…Sad, demise
