What Does it Matter?

by Mary Padilla

What’s the matter with you?
Could this be a minor matter?
Does it actually matter if it’s true?

But then, what if you think the latter?
What if it truly does matter to you?
But just why should it matter to you?

Can you pretend that it doesn’t matter?
Or do you think that it won’t matter
if in the end you don’t want it to?

Anyway, does mattering really matter?
But just what does that actually matter,
if this is something that matters to you?
