• Restless. Anxious. Stuck.
    Tapping, tapping, tapping
    My foot against the baseboard.
    Pacing from room to room, back to room.
    Mindlessly opening doors and drawers
    Pulling things out, but not putting them
    Back.
    Drumming, drumming, drumming
    My fingers against the back of a guitar.
    My face is wrinkling,
    My eyes are growing numb.
    Reading, reading, reading
    Words that won’t stick to my skull.
    Just passing time slowly.
    Has the clock stopped?
    Pumping, pumping, pumping
    Trying to filter my boredom into something productive.
    So, so quiet.
    I can’t say or do anything, I’m stuck.
