The worst part, for the rest of us,
isn't the trending facebook profile picture
Or even the disdain expressed every time someone speaks of Paris
And not Baghdad, Beirut
As if showing feelings for the
Dead of one parcel of land negates the horror of the
other
As if not knowing is the biggest crime here.
The worst part isn't not being afraid to close your eyes
because the nightmare you dread is
the one you live in,
and sleep might be more permanent than you want.
The worst part is
probably how
you've numbed enough to hear of this,
click your tongue twice in sympathy,
change your profile picture
and move about
as if everything in the world
is fine.
