11,976. I ONLY WANT

I ONLY WANT
Nothing much affects me
anymore; I'm so damned numb
about it all. The end of this
world couldn't come soon
enough for me. My flag,
unfurled, stands crestfallen
and twisted over a broken
spread I'm now sorry I ever
claimed at all. There's no
return-window in that
orange land. I don't want 
for much. Not any longer.
-
I'd like for people to read
my work and see my stuff. I'd
hope someone cared enough:
to find something of interest,
an original thought and new
approach to some History
of things they'd not known.
That's all of what my vibrant
lines and sentences are about.
-
Timing no longer being
essential, I no longer need to
watch my words and mouth.
I'm old. I can say what I want.
