You left
Told me it was impulse
the spontaneous desire to be anywhere but here
Later, when I cried
you cited grief & sadness
a bibliography of loss
to support a conclusion
of laissez faire uncaring
there is an irony here
You stay there
experimenting with happy
a rogue scientist
leaving behind the rules
of evidence
From a distance
your statistics are inherently flawed
manipulated madness
from a sample of one
There is no causation
only loose correlation
between reason and desire
I have my own theories
observational studies
based on patterns of loneliness
that I use to extrapolate
the probability of my own significance
