Rant.

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.
