    Ignorance is bliss and starry night, my heart caught

    Ignorance is bliss

    pretending not to know, or not knowing at all
    is a bliss — wretched, jabbering, jostling bliss

    — don't wanna hear you!
    I'll pretend you don't exist!
    for that is much of bliss!

    but when I carry you in my heart
    scheduled, unscheduled, heart to heart, depart

    or hear from some faraway your weeping, your worries

    I'll learn to pretend that you don't exist

    because ignorance, is considered, a sort of bliss.▬

    Starry Night, my heart caught

    we are both adversely prepared
    catatonic tension
    on the open air
    marching upright
    in frigid anonymity

    you say
    I say
    a pleasant fecundity
    but I sweat
    you sweat
    and we are in silence
    in intervals
    in hearts
    thus organic pleasantries
    mute and mouth
    in absence of this and that

    soon, the food is served
    so is the tongue
    you share
    I share
    in warmth and merriment

    soon you kiss
    my cheek
    and I yours

    in less than pleasantries
    kind of way

    your cheek
    my cheek
    our hearts

    melt and mould like candle states

    I give you a number
    you give me one too

    a theatre of exchanges
    under stars and moon's delight. ▬

    catatonic tension
    A very interesting take on this so common catatonia; mental catatonia.
    It is not the traditional one that affects also de body, but it is there in the mind. "Let's not talk about it. Let's pretend ignorance, bliss.
    Very common, whether you are on one side or the other of an issue.
    A branch of hypocrisy?

    Again, two different poems. One is about social inequalities other is on nervousness and attractions. I don't understand where the hypocrisy comes from, what do you mean exactly?

    The hypocrisy comes from being aware of the choice.
