quotation marks

when you haven’t got the

right thing to say on the

tip of your tongue or

you find yourself simply

too lazy to make the

effort---you are left finding the

words that someone else at

some other time said that

you now find applicable to

the context in which you are

presently operating.

 

flick those double peace signs up

beside both of your temples---

a bit of generic performance art

which everyone seems to be able

to do---and really

everyone does---so why we still

feel the need to do so when we find

ourselves quoting someone else,

that is beyond the majority of us.

 

out of sheer boredom,

we do so very much to pass the

time.
