The Absentee


I was absent from most things,

absent minded,
absent hearted,
absent in spirit,

I was brokenhearted without thorough reason,

no notions of real sadness,
no understanding of deep rooted pain,
no desire to heal these wounds,

I was resistant to most things,

with purpose,
with malice,
with delusions of delinquency

and for what---

for sunshine,
for the fleeting specters and phantoms of octarine,
for the false hope of the Fata Morgana,

No one could say I was not an idealist,

save for me
