Institutionalised apathy –
your indifference should be astounding but,
it is expected, enforced
created, constructed
Reiterated -
Perpetuated on mass
The de rigueur, the fashion
Indifferent industriousness –
Yes, always busy.
Busy, busy, busy
Self-focussed hardworking
Hectic scheduled introversion
Preventing meaningful connection
Or any connection--- unless
Wired in and fast asleep
Superficially relating
The banality of our busy-ness
Apologies
I have
No time for you
I have
No time for me
How convenient, politically.
--Amelia Hitchcock, 2013.
