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
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...

In the land of Kharmantou

My life is rich and
Tastes like monotony peanut butter
Sticking to the roof of my mouth

BOREDOM
When time is stagnate and the world is on hold.
When feelings of anxiousness emanate from the
search for something
by B.D. Bolin
the clock ticks away in my ears
scarring the silence that's bored me to tears
no one is calling, no emails to read
something
-The Night Drive-
He was bored in soul,
and so we took a drive.
Asylum on the road
and ever out and on
Jaundiced lives alone
no
