"
fuck you,"
said the
man,
left with
no backwards glance,
as the dominoes toppled and fell.
oblivious, he turned,
not
a bit of concern,
for damning the
world to hell.
he wandered
away,
apathy in his wake,
a shrug and
a turn --
no surprise.
his journey's
no shorter,
as for
life -- he
still courts
her,
but walks with the
sun in his
eyes.
his soles will
wear thin,
and, to his chagrin,
he'll find most his trip is uphill.
and soon may just
wonder,
if
indifference was blunder,
and check
where those dominoes fell.
