don’t bother

trying to find me – I’m
not there. as if
you cared to look,
anyway. you’re not
going to have me
to kick around
this week!

and don’t bother
trying to rile me – I don’t care!
so very much so
that I bothered
to write a poem about
how little it matters.

have fun then,
chasing your
shadow and chatting up
new girls. I’m
enjoying myself
somewhere you’re
not.
