ennui

ennui: a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement

bored

staring at the scab on the back of my hand
darkish pink, flaky
it almost looks like a tiny grapefruit
too tiny to eat

I am bored

work piled high on my desk
every sheet of paper, every task mounting
building a tower of monotonous anxiety

I am beyond bored
I am nonfunctional

restless, my leg shakes
rhythmically bouncing up and down
I fantasize that seismic waves emanate from my foot
shaking all the earth
causing the walls to collapse, my cubicle to implode

nonfunctionally bored

if I have to run this same shitty dog and pony show continuously
I will murder myself
the phone rings
apparently
the pony got out and the dog is crying

dysfunctional
