'No one' monday poetry train #94

No one cares if you can play the piano

strike every key precisely and resonate

you became obstinate and fabulous in your bubble

No one cares if you are a carnivore with hunger to be prominent

you choose hatred and ornery vice as a friend

desperate and an unlikely foe

No one cares if fabulous gnats hang about

urging you to goose and bungle people

unlikely someday you will find a friend

but No one cares

    Great post - Reminds me of the time I literally bumped into a 'celebrity', who asked 'Do you know who I am?'
