a purposeless existence

By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Regular gum, or sugarless? Wake up late because I want to keep sleeping. Walk to school in the cold, get there late. It's not a big deal, though, because once again we're doing nothing in class but sitting around and talking. Class drags on, but finishes finally. Coke, or Pepsi? Class is followed by two and a half hours of nothing. We can't bother to eat anything; who can afford cafeteria food anyway? So, I more or less sit there, feeling bored. Black jeans, or blue? After the void of my time between classes is eaten up, I go to my last class, wherein I learn about things I've heard about since grade three - the ozone layer still has a hole in it; people still don't have enough food; the world's population is still rising; there still isn't enough fresh water to go around. So, what do we do about it? Blank out. What positive action can we take? Blank out. See next course. Leave. Survivor, West Wing, or Boston Public? Get home and do nothing for hours, because there's nothing TO do, and go to sleep very late. Then repeat for five days in a row. ICQ or MSN? It's funny, the things we think are worth thought.
