And the hum of the computer is telling me
bit more
bit more
that bed would be a better place
to be.
But I've got a beer
and a message
in there
somewhere.
And the fridge is 30 seconds away
if I stand up now
and walk to the door.
but i'm not, because I'm
typing.
Messages that really mean
not much
but not nothing
because then
if the fridge is
10 seconds away.
It's too far.

this is poetry. you take an everyday scene and make it something significant.

I don't know why, but I got a kick out of this piece. lol. There's something so sardonic about the tone of it, then I just couldn't help letting slide a smirk or two. Lord knows I've felt like this (I have no life, and sit at the computer all day long lol) Thanks so much for entering, this was a truly enjoyable piece
