cry me a river

some people never cry.
others
shed tears
at a sappy soap commercial
on tv,
or the one
where they show
dogs
in cages with
enlarged eyes
and fleas.
it takes a lot for some
to cry.
death,
disease, financial
failure.
for others it could just
be allergy
season,
the tree pollen,
a heavy yellow dusting
on everything.
that would be me.
