I don't want to know
whether they know or not-know
(it's none of my business)
by the same token
they can't be bothered
whether I were
in this or that position--

is there
any advantage
to me if I do know?
weighing
every consideration-
not to know
would mean
lesser woe
for to know
would distract
and likely
cause me worry
or sorrow--

people come
and people go
they don't look
at me
anywhere I show
problems of their own
they have enough
for life (sadly)
is so-

this does make
good sense then
though
you aren't a friend
nor foe-

we are equalised
neither of us
need to know
about the other fellow!
