i am by nature a fictionist...

something to share before i sleep.

---------

No time

I have
no time
to be
lonely.

People
talk
to me--
kids,
adults,
kids rushing
to be adults,
adults behaving
like kids.

Everyone.

I have
no time
for
self-pity.

People
approach
my art--
be creative
be productive
be meaningful
be insightful--
one could
only do
those things
when properly
motivated.

Properly.

I have
no time
for
shallowness.

People
more meaningful
than shallow ones
value
my time,
engage
my presence,
making
my time
more worthwhile.

Worthwhile.

Thus,

I have
no time
for you
you who
toy with
me
you who
approach me
because I am
of some use
to you
for you
do not
ever
contact me
because
my time
is more
precious
spent
without you
by my side.

Without.
