You

But I don't really care how you're doing
or who you're doing
or what is going on.

I want to dig a spoon into your brain
and eat the matter that actually matters.

I want to KNOW
how you're doing,
who you're doing
and what is going on.

that is my crux.

Words are words.
I understand more than most.

But to chew your thoughts
and swallow your dreams
would allow me to sleep
without worry
for the first time
since the first week of January.
