No Longer Caring

Jeffrey Zable

I’m riding a stationary bike at my gym
flipping through Entertainment Weekly
when I realize that of the 100 or so faces
that my eyes took in, I recognized only 4 or 5,
and with that I reflect that this says something positive
in that I no longer waste my time trying to keep up
with the latest singers, actors, and television personalities—
that I don’t care if I ever see their movies,
watch their television programs,
or listen to their songs.
And as I continue to peddle, I drop the magazine to the floor,
realizing later that some beads of sweat have fallen onto the cover.
