Apathy

As a short in-class exercise, we wrote sensory poems in my writing class.  Everyone had to choose an abstract noun and describe it using the "five senses."


Apathy is a sort of off-white color; nothing too offensive, it goes with pretty much anything.

It smells old.  Not a bad smell, but not pleasant either.

It feels comfortable.  It feels nice enough that one can overlook its negative connotations.

It sounds like a long, hesitant groan.

Apathy has no flavor.
