Another Poem -- Boredom

Wrote this last year on a slow day during my study abroad program in Germany during the football (soccer) world cup.


Boredom

When snails seem to move faster than the time
I think up poems that don't make sense or rhyme.
I read books backwards to make it interesting
But stop as soon as I find out the ending.

Computer games seem ancient and slow
I would rather be watching a plant slowly grow.
Even watching a movie is a total ordeal
A soccer game would also seem like no big deal.

I want to mess up my room just to clean it up again
but that would take me right back to where i began
I try my hardest to sleep on my bed
but sleep is something that only happens in class instead.

I think I need to finish off my presentation now
O but my brain is on vacation in Moscow.
Music sounds like nails on a chalkboard
O I sooooo hate being this utterly BORED.
