Committee life in retrospect...


I sympathise
'bout your committee
'bout feeling sleepy
little wonder
all that ennui

You think, I think
how long must we take
in oblivion deciding
what's so obvious
unless you're oblivious

Time slows & stands still
and it has no cost
I'm feeling so lost
and not that strong
to do this for long



Found this in my journal from early 2008.

Here's hoping that 2010 will be more positive and interesting!

I like the first stanza VERY MUCH. Second and third get a bit tired and cliched... but perhaps that is a deliberate device? And now that I'm thinking about it, I've realised it IS A DELIBERATE DEVICE and so now I like the whole poem, very much.
