Ignorance Is Bliss

I’m ignoring the news.

Ignoring obligations.

Ignoring the mess in my house.

Ignoring my biological clock.

Ignoring any feelings of

Yearning or longing for you —

Well, trying to.

Ignoring the random thoughts

Which I’ve now forgot.

Ignoring any potential jealousy

Or envy. For or from. Myself

And others.

Ignoring my bank account.

Ignoring my car problems —

Lots of random things that

“Need” to be fixed.

Ignoring my fridge.

Ignoring my dog’s bladder —

Just kidding. Actually the dog

Might be the only thing

Keeping me in this reality.
