even though i sometimes judge them
for having the same failings i have,
and i still spend most of my spare time alone in a basement.
it's not easy to write a poem
but for me it's usually easier than the other options.
the truth is in order to care about anything
you have to care about everything,
and maybe what’s so difficult about that
isn’t that the world is huge and chaotic and dangerous,
maybe what’s actually so difficult about that
is how often i wish it wasn’t true.
