I am not
a misanthrope
but I don’t like
neither crowds,
nor pointless small talk,
nor making people
feel good
or comfortable.
I don’t like
wasting my time
laughing at some idiot,
or
at some fool.
I would much rather
spend the afternoon
on a chair in the yard,
reading Zola,
and
listening
to the music of
my dog snoring.
