unaware

tossed in a sea of ego and need

of agendas and self

where everyone needs something

grappling and clawing

needed NOW, yesterday even better

at any cost

even satisfied at someone else's expense

selfish and absorbed

your bubble bumping into mine

never merging, becoming one

just touching for a moment

while you dump out your garbage

and it seeps into my bubble

all that you struggle with

that manifests as wounding

that communicates things you never say

that conveys where your heart is

where it is darkened

and I listen

and I understand

but in a detached way I am numb

and it all runs together

bubbles tossing in the wind

waves crashing into each other in the sea

not merging , but displacing others

unaware

insensitive

effecting
