Too Aware to Care
Today
I still scan
Portland’s streets
looking for you
but not
because I seek
love
that moment
was gone
when you turned
your nose up
on everything
you dreamed of
and promised
in the beginning
no
my darting eyes
back and forth
are not driven by
love anymore
but instead
my eyes trace
these gritty streets
because
deep down
I want to see
that you’re
alive and well
yet
my puzzlement
is overwhelming
because
I know
I know
I shouldn’t
care.
