we have become comrades out of arms

colleagues of unrest,

friends of indifference,

i smoke my pipe, sip a beer

and watch CNN

while you sew quilts to keep others warm

and gaze at stars

that no longer appear

except in an antiquated sky

of your mind.

How indifferent we have become, looking at everything yet seeing nothing, living in our own world, a mindspace and mindset we create for a cozy cordoned off existence away from reality. So much is said in this poem, in a few choice words.

Stars always exist, they are older than anything we can imagine and they are always there, people who are used to each other seem to forget how to reach for them.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

your response is better than the poem...thank you for such insightful words.

Sounds like a contented old couple setting down after dinner and dishes are done. Valentine

Those bad news for sure keep us gazing at the stars for clues and in great bewilderment hoping to get answers or understand human nature at its worst. An excellent take on the news, Jacob...:).................
