Why I Don't Take Phonecalls

[rowens]

Does anyone have anything to say
to me today?
The whole world is made of clay,
and that's only the Earth.

Stupid star
in ignorant space,
you don't talk to me anymore.
It's not the pills, because I didn't take them:
Nobody likes me because I talked to you.

But you were the only one
ever worth talking to.

Foolish world
beyond infinite space,
you're the heart
and the soul of a world I can't live for anymore
without looking as foolish as you.

I'm too smart to be happy.
I know too much to dwell on this matter.
But you were all I wanted,
you're still the reason I live.

Nothing else interests me,
nothing else motivates me toward doing anything with my life,
so what difference does it make to anyone else what I think?
Just because I make something up
doesn't mean it isn't true.

Foolish world
in ignorant space,
all people,
even the most intelligent have intellectual blindspots.
But that's not what I get from staring into you.

Stupid star.
