The Back Burner


I had this animus that was inexplicable---
toward you
and for so long, it seemed warranted
completely
certainly---

It's upsetting to think of all the things about you that upset me
but then I realized that I didn't really give a shit
about what would cause your demise

Just that it would cause your demise---
you were a circumstantial nuisance
who preyed my willingness to walk barefoot
and my naive sense of your character

It's appalling to think of all the times you----
and then apologized for it when enough time had passed
time of mine

Then I got tired of you being a simpleton who believed in complexity---
because that's what thieves do
---and it's fucking hot in here
