Indifference

here, no one
would be quiet.
i thought pain
could be so sharp
as to cut off one’s tongue.
someone said they
saw someone
speed past where the tree fell
someone else did see
but could not tell
alas! she didn’t see what she saw
someone said they
saw someone
speed past where the tree fell
well, I can tell
and no one asked me
whether there is someone lying
underneath the felled tree
