Take Care Of Your World, Not Mine

Take care of your world, not mine

.

That wail zipping through neurons

Activating synapses that give

Thoughts their words and give

Words their sounds.

You know, sounds of fury, anger, despair,

That they imagine fills the world

And prepares to get things done

Or at least make change possible.

It doesn't.

It doesn't because that wail

And whatever it does will fail

To reach out beyond their world.

And their world isn't my world.

Imagination is the cruelest thing

They have. We have. I have.
