Indifference

inspred by wired article

Smoking a cig on the couch 

House engulfed in flames

Walk out the front door 

Mow the lawn 

Lite another cig

As it burns

The smell of something important

Senses inside awaken 

Jolted in the head

Thoughts...

It may be too late

Rush to grab a hose  

To put out the flames

Eyes burning

Seeking anything salvageable

The Fear of loss gripping

Everything will be fine

I hope

I've got my hose...

How did I not realize

Things where this bad

How...

Did I not realize
