Poetry: Boredom

by J.R. Lewis

Created on: May 25, 2008

My life is rich and
Tastes like monotony peanut butter
Sticking to the roof of my mouth
Keeping my tongue busy and words adhesive
Diverting my attentions
Robbing me of focus

Everyday blends to everyday
And Everyday's details blend in blah
Swishing to a gunky swallow
I choke on time and
Spit out the unground nuts
Boring myself with facts

Sigh

The edges to day are lost to me
It is one long minute
One heavy breathing experience
I am not hungry, I grow tired
Of this meal
I am done with it

I want no more...
