i prefer not to

you have
reached
a point of not
doing things
you don't want
to do. not
attending,
not belonging,
not following
what you don't
believe.
there are few
lines you
want to get into
anymore. fewer
still the
conversations
that stir
your soul.
it took
awhile, but you
are there.
and yet you
are not removed
completely,
not quite free.
that will
come later.
