Boredom

Boredom,

That could be

The thing to beat.


What we do

Just because

We are bored

Is

Almost

Everything.



Most of us

Are terrified of it.

So:

The TV stays on,

Our schedules stay busy,

Our phones become part of our hands,

Books get burned through,

Sex is had,

Babies are born,

Houses are bought,

All because

We are so afraid

Of

Boredom.


Just sit there

And do nothing,

And see how long you can last

Before

Boredom

Beats you.


Go ahead

And

Try it.


. . .


. . .


You're still here?


Even this shit

Is better

Then Boredom,

Huh?
