A Rock

"Emotional range of a rock."
You said so yourself.
But please humor
My heart-born ideas
Once in a while.

Aren't you lucky.
There's so much pain
That you get to
Skip out on.

So much irrationality
Is inaccessible to you.

I've seen you smile.
I've seen you frown.
Eyebrows furrowing
And lips twisting
Communicate annoyance.

But I've never seen you laugh.
I've never seen you cry.

As I lick my old and festering wounds
And recent scratches you laid,
I pity you.
