Indifference.

The sun is indifferent to the appeals of man: it emits light irrespective.

The sun is indifferent to questions: it shines on belligerently when I mouth at it.

The sun is deaf - the most hard-of-hearing object in a silent universe.

The rain is indifferent too - it would fill the whole world had it the strength.

The rain takes no commands; it drowns them instead.

Blind to suffering is the rain.

Other people are indifferent; smoking their cigarettes.

And talking about the TV - closed shells.

They have no redeeming words.

The northern hemisphere is indifferent.

Except for me -

Squinting at a dot marked 'Canberra.'
