Poem: Embracing a Cold & Indifferent Universe

Embracing a Cold & Indifferent Universe

I told the world
I don’t know why
I am here.

And the world said
I don’t really
know or care.

This upset me
and I complained
to the world.

But the world was
indifferent
to my gripes.

For a while I
pouted and moped,
got real down.

Then it hit me:
I should be more
like the world.
