![]() How to Have a Hopelessly Boring DayA Poem by Heath Rumble![]() This is inspired by everything the poem describes. It's one of those (few) poems that I think sounds better when read aloud, (I have a special voice and specific rhythm I like to read it with).![]() Sleep till 11:48 AM Have a breakfast bagel sandwich: Greasy SPAM, Eggs, Cheese. Lounge. Do nothing. Check fruitlessly For someone (in particular"?) To chat with on Facebook. Watch a boring, Crappy, But still not-so-bad-of-a-plot Movie. Realize you should have left for a barbecue A while ago. And then let your mom make you Even later. Arrive at the barbecue (late) Only to discover half the people invited Even showed up. Talk about Nothing. Do Nothing. Leave, Feeling a bit tired Of doing Nothing. Wait. Read A few pages Of that book With that guy Who did That. Sit at your desk. Wait On Facebook. Browse the Internet for something interesting Fruitlessly While still wondering Why you’re still doing Nothing. And wait some more. Give yourself: Excuses For doing nothing; Reasons Why you’re waiting. Probe your memories aimlessly, While probing your cabinets For something to snack on To fill this Emptiness. Listen to Pandora That New Age station you seeded with Sense of Touch Which is what you believe You might be waiting for. © 2010 Heath Rumble |
