Thursday still.

April 7th 2009 15:52


I sat at home alone
On Thursday night and thought
Carefully about
What everyone else was doing.
They came and went
And went and came
And still I thought.

The radio fluttered
In the background of
My consciousness,
Letting me know there was
Something there.
But I knew that already.

How could I not know?
When they face me down
And hold me still. I
Do notice, though I
Do nothing.

It ticks too fast and
Echoes in my ears til
It drives me mad. I
Can see the clock and
I watch it but don’t move.

I do nothing


By Friday morning,
Little has changed.

Time's a funny thing
but I don't see many people laughing.

I quite like the thoughts behind this poem. I quite like the poem itself. And I don't like much poetry on Orble. Most people on here can't write poetry for shit.

Teresa's asleep and I'm very lonely tonight, so I'm just reading Orble posts. Is there a difference between loneliness and boredom?

yes but one tends to highlight the other

I've never been bored before. I've been catatonic. Even put on a catatonic fit to get admitted to a psych ward because I didn't have anywhere to sleep. But boy those places are awful. They're full of weirdos. lol

Have you ever read Roland Leach's poem "The Drowning of Ophelia (the madness poems)? It's one of my favourite poems of all time.
