Boredom
Spoonfuls
Spoon fools.
Night lights and empty sights
Street smells of green rains
Waning
Wallowing in apathy
Long stretches of long faces
Dark bars and long halls
Long hauls.
Casual interest.
Mismatched people all looking past each other.
I see it in the eyes
In the short movements
Light gestures
Softly saying I need something, anything
I guess you'll do. It's close enough.
In the mornings the edges don't quite line up.
A wandering mind is a mind seeking
Searching
Desperate
Disparate
Looking seeing
Disconnected connection
Bored choices.
A feigned interest.
Falling back in discontent
Good enough. But never enough.
Aimless
Depths of fears
Unresolved tears
Listless pursuits.
Wait.
Searching for
meaning, intention, inspiration, fulfillment, satisfaction, purpose
A moment of bliss --
A lasting impact.
Impacting
Impacted
Craters in the jaw.
Extra
Teeth spilling out
Vexed
On a moonlit road
Standing, head tilted back
Searching.
