stagnant by Angela Thomasat 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. 10/26/2010 Posted on 10/26/2010 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas

Posted by George Hoerner on 10/26/10 at 11:52 PM 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. |
