ThrowingStones

I’m not exactly sure 
why in this day
and age it’s anyone’s 
business who I choose 
to love or what 
attracts me to them 
but here we are 
I’m too long in
the tooth to care
but the others do 
still do still have 
people are odd things 
being so certainly certain 
that they know better 
when in fact their 
life and or love
is no more successful 
or valid or beautiful 
than mine I think 
that I’m going to 
stay in my apartment 
overlooking the Rocky Mountains 
and ponder life itself 
high above riff raff
animals and people who 
upon knowing more about 
me hurl heavy stones 
hoping to make me
suffer worse than they
