Art of Nothing
April 4, 2014
Nothing is more like an art than boredom
It has all the elements of the major three
Music’s sounds, Art’s sights, Writing’s poetry
Walk into a classroom full of bored students.
Array of emotions on their faces,
Each like a color on an artist’s pallet.
Tapping fingers: drums in a symphony.
A droning teacher’s words directs sighs and yawns.
Fidgeting feet stomp on too-clean a floor.
‘Sleeping eyes’ on a page makes imagery
For a poet who still cannot fall asleep,
To watch those students doze
Brings a sharp envy.
