The People Who Are Too Easily Bored

The People Who Are Too Easily Bored

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

The people who too easily are bored

Have boring minds, my brother Ivan says.

When brains were given out, too many scored

At low IQs.  Not one of them’s a wizz

At anything except their boredom.  If

They sit alone without their gadgets, phone

Or gaming screen, they send a silent whiff

Of boringness too like a boring moan

And so you have to turn away your ears

To keep from hearing stupid, whispered groans

Too like their little minds or see their tears

From tedium produced in stoopid zones.

  Just leave them to their vapidity

    There sprawling blank in their flaccidity.
