I might have hopes and dreams to talk about

There might be good news

There’s a chance that just being

Would melt away something

That needed to be melted away

You can’t yell to the other side

Of the highway

It’s just not wise

You can’t wave

You can’t turn around

It’s dangerous

And what’s more

You shouldn’t have to

I shouldn’t have to

Cause we all need water

Like we all need to matter

And even if

Even if I forfeited that

Long ago

In the dark of the way back

Something has to be ignored

Intentionally or unintentionally

How should I know which

And for me

Being ignored

Is the most violent sneeze

It confirms

My own utility

Void of any essence
