So today is a prompt to parody a famous poem. Of course, I chose the one by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, “How do I love thee, let me count the ways?” So here goes:

How do I hate you, let me count the ways,

Actually hate comes with a breadth and height

You cannot. So I am surely indifferent

To your needs or your imagined time or space

I am indifferent to you, to your everyday’s

Nonsense, your need to be someone

I am indifferent to what you think is your right. 

I am indifferent enough to oust you from my life. 

I am indifferent no matter what cons you use

In the family, in their sense of being, their faith

I am indifferent to a sense you have lost

With all that the families were really worth

Smiles, tears of my life and if fate can decide

There’s nothing in you to endure this earth.
