I DON'T CARE ANYMORE

I don’t ask anymore
I don’t care anymore

Time changes
It changed itself
It changed me

A dead river swam into a deader sea
Carrying with it effete grains of sand
I swam into a lifeless heap

I don’t want to know anymore
Where time went
What it took
What it lost
What it found
I don’t care anymore

The door opened a crack
A maze of light
Peered into the gloom
I saw your eyes
Asking me
Where time went
What it took
What it lost
What it found

I brushed the cobwebs
From my blood
The slivers carrying the effete grains of sand
That had swum into the dead sea
Sprinkling onto the floor
Rasping and grating
As I stood up against myself
I said, ‘I don’t care anymore’
