Tongues clicking, watches ticking, pens tapping, power snapping. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, the same thing, over and over, the same thing. Gum popping, smiles stopping. Expecting a new result from a singular action, repeated. Chains turning, blood churning, tongues clicking, smiles stopping. They say the same thing, repeated, expecting me to listen.
Written August 25, 2014 for CAMP poetry. Scrawled while sitting in my car outside of a dollar store (no relation to the subject matter but a fun point by which to remember it)
