Do You?

Do you bore yourself?

 

Do you rent the space

You’re standing in

Owning nothing

But default?

 

Do you recycle words

Until their utterance fails

Mistrusting your ability

To judge what’s right?

 

Do you hedge your bets

Never going all in

For fear of losing the very thing

You haven’t got?

 

Do you count the days

As tedium destroys spontaneity

And all energy drains

From your lifeless form?

 

Do you bore yourself?

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
