resting

Rest ?
Tired is the body, but the mind isn’t,
fighting its way out of a numbing grey
fog of boredom that has settled as dust on
the sweeping broom. No do not succumb
to the ridiculous suggestion of resting by
way of watching daytime TV, or a walk
in the park where old men with vacant eyes
sit and talk rubbish about their youth.
If the price to pay for more years is ennui,
seeing seasons pass without being a part
of it, why bother? Dust doesn’t know that
it ever lived, it just blow with the wind.
