the truth

my feelings float
within my inner pit, 

within the stone sides, 
above the sandy bottom. 

I observe the feelings
through a one-way glass

they move like clouds
in an upright oval.

powerful. dull. 
alive. dead.

I assess them.
I decide and report on
whether I feel something or not.  

Then the heavens open.
 info 
about a person 
I used to care about
drops down into the pit.

The scientist watches for feelings. 

Nothing occurs:
I don't have a feeling. 

My eyebrows raise. 
Surprising. 

I'm surprised you feel that way,
I tell myself. 

Well, I just don't, 
I reply. 

Interesting.
