CARPET OF CLOUDS

I walk on the carpet of clouds above the world, alone,
and look down at the full world below.
I lament the loneliness of my high intelligence.
I have retreated into my world again.

I had been looking forward to my new job,
my new life.
Then, in this town,
a few days after I moved here,
I met a woman that I really liked.
I really, really, liked her.
But that ended almost as soon as it began.

And then I retreated into my loneliness,
backtracking almost 8 months, or
is it longer, or is it less? It
does not matter. Time does not matter.
Even my goals are meaningless.
I hold the sand in my hand,
watching it blow into the wind.

Nothing matters.
