stagnant

by Angela Thomas

at this point in my life it feels
like everything has stopped
flowing, like the city holds
no more majesty than a brick

holds your hand. momentum
has screeched to a halt, final
stop on the red-line, please
check for lost belongings

in the seat-back pocket
before exiting. joy runs
parallel to alcohol, hash,
weed consumption. nothing

motivates. nothing stirs.
flies buzz. sediment builds.

This reminds of boredom, which my children always spoke of when they were younger. I would tell them that they were only bored because they were not "involved" in the present. But still a good write.
