Time is my victim!
I sell boredom with sentences.
Sunshine stokes iridescent smoky steam
behind closed eyelids,
but
my semblance of thought shudders to halt and
gray skies cloud clear conscience,
when
it sets in that an exercise in pretentious futility
is this poem of utterly pompous nonsensical utterances.
caffeine crash came and went.
disconnected thoughts grow out of sunday homework weariness.
the nothing room is filled by small sunday supper's emanated olfactorial elicitations.
cold sweat condenses on dank dark air streaking the walls of the void with muted invibrancy.

Sunlight dissolves gray cloudy window grime to light up milky brown steaming savior.
the vagaries of high school living encrust life like dirt over a pearl but
there is no pearl there wasn't one there's just
a dressed up shell filled with empty stagnant air hot with the stank of
superficial illusion intangibility
confusing murky uncertainty
all carefully designed and implemented to
provide the most utterly average life conceivable by
societal standards which turns the

any meaning it may have once had on each revolution of
soul crushing
wallet lining
employment ideals as it spins through halls of blaring media
in the home of western democracy
