i live in oakland right now
the earth quakes sometimes but i don’t feel it
my girlfriend will ask ‘did you feel that’ and i will say ‘no’
this makes me wonder
am i ‘disconnected’ from ‘the earth’ or something
am i ‘afraid of commitment’
am i really that self-involved
i wonder
i tend to fidget
i am always burning calories, fidgeting
is that why i have ‘high metabolism’
i wonder
at age twelve i was diagnosed with add
is that why i fidget
is that why i do not feel the earth quake
i wonder
is it ‘good’ to have ‘high metabolism’
to have add
to fidget
to not feel
i wonder, now
on aim, my girlfriend and i
fight about ‘literature’
which is all we ever fight about
more or less
i wonder
is that ‘good’
