delegate

i envy the brazen,
no fucks left to give,
that delegate care
to such as me.
they who walk through the world;
not ripples or waves
in their wake,
but tsunami storm surges.
i envy but could not be.
that ability
lacks a certain empathy
by which i'm bound -
and most times happily,
but sometimes i would
if i could
unbind and unwind
and not mind the mess
or anyone else's distress.
oh, to do whatever I want
with no other thought -
terrible but glorious.
