I don't want to know

Is that Orion?
Smiling down at me

As I sit sighing

Into the dark night?

Or is it just me reading signs

Where none exist?
I don't want to know.

And the other day,

Did the sun really wink at me,

Peeping out of cottony clouds

As I smiled up at the sky?

Or was it just my impish mind

Pulling a prank on me?
I really don't want to know.

Just for once,

Leave me alone

With tales I have woven

Out of nothingness.

Just once, this once,

I don’t want to know.
