a question

asked in a cool, beige room
in that low tone automatic and
reserved for things like this,
asked i suppose because
i was dry eyed and i'm sure there
was the slightest of smiles
unsettling, inappropriate,
truthful.
"don't you care?" with a nod
toward the dear departed and the line of
mourners, viewers, visitors and gawkers.
"don't you care?"
