Accumulation of Distractions
I am an ever-growing accumulation of distractions,
averting my attention,
avoiding the truths weighing within,
hoping they subside over time
knowing well
they eventually need to be addressed,
not acknowledged,
but head on confronted,
however,
until that time comes
I welcome hellos from strangers,
the physical comfort of acquaintances
kept at arms length,
and intimate moments
which do not last
longer than the burning of a match
