Tedium

  • by

I woke that morning
The same eyes through the same hair
Staring at the same ceiling
Swearing at the same alarm
I woke the same as ever.

Made coffee with the same kettle
Drank from the same cup
Smoked the same brand
Watched the same show
Kissed the same love
Left through the same door
Wearing the same coat
In the same way

Drove the same car
Heard the same songs
Went the same way
To the same place
At the same time

Used the same key
In the same entrance
Of the same office
Where I do the same thing
In the same way
Everyday.

Sighed.
A different sigh.
I'd wanted security
I'd gotten tedium

Wished the same wish
If only things would change.
