Opposite of Apathetic

It was sunrise on the second quarter
I witnessed with intention
because that’s when I was born
and there was death five hours north
when dolphins found me in New York,
a crepuscular surprise.
Reporting on the sight,
in passing I also mention
the light that’s drained from my eyes
making it so my only memory
is of everyone trying to teach me: ( -1 < -2 ) although it’s wrong.
To my surprise, I exist
Perplexingly, the opposite of apathetic is not pathetic.

My wish got stuck
for all of August

but when freed it brought
old-soul mates out of the woodwork,
payment in more produce,
offers to produce more.
And after seeing a green cocoon with its golden seal
I’m sure that valid was my anger all-along
but nobody needed to know about it
until I got back.
