Bored
Everything bores,
endless lines on highways,
the stale groups of people
waiting for coffee that's made like shit
the price hikes and fake sales that
draw in, brainless consumers.
Everything's the same.
The same conversations in
a house that's the same as
the neighbours and all the conversations
are like shit-brained pickleheads
might as well talk to a pickle.
Everything is pointless
one pointless kiss to the next
one new job to a new job
and life is spent that way
where's the energy,
where's something insane to find,
why does life feel so preordained and
the most boring thing of it all,
most will never experience
what life has to offer, and no one will
ever know they didn't enjoy.

Catherine reminds me of an enigma wrapped within a riddle. When she writes, she skips between the poetic and the dramatic. Her highlights of the African lifestyles of herself, of authors whom she admires, and the many nuances of love keeps you wondering and pondering the passage of life.

Wow, I loved this line: "Everything's the same. The same conversations in a house that's the same as the neighbours..." I've had that feeling so many times. Good thing writing keeps it fresh, at least in our own heads :)
'I'm the chairman of the bored.' - Iggy Pop Seriously, I like this one. It has a momentum and strong imagery in it, and it makes me think about my life. Good work!
