Bored Out Of My Mind

by Joan Serratelli

Sitting here,
writing a poem
Could care less
what's on the tube

Later, you'll tell me
that ALL I ever do
is watch TV

I HATE TV
I would shut it off
IF I could find
the remote

It's crappy outside
I'm in a cold sweat
I would smoke a cigarette
(if someone would teach
me how)

I feel so alone
I have no money
and no place
to go
So here I sit;
ALONE

...BORED
Out Of My Mind

there is so much soul in this piece, such flesh on the bone, such rawness to the emotion, the smoking line a fav, since the subject doesn't smoke, it speaks volumes...kudos poet, this isn't bad, though the emotional toll might feel so...hugs, jewels

Yes, TV, the soul sucking soundbite! I can feel the boredom here.
