Me and Ennui

 

He accused me of being mentally

lazy. Which wasn’t true, not fully,

because what I am is fundamentally

 

lazy. Which means that my ass

has a taproot and that my ass-

umptions are mired in a morass

 

of self-regarding half-truths.

Blame it on my uncouth

environs. Blame it on youth

 

or the views of my parents.

Blame it on my aberrant

behaviour, the apparent

 

dissolution of my cohort’s esprit,

an overfond embrace of entropic ennui—

and hell, why not blame it on me.
