Out With the Old, In With the OlderA Poem by Michael StevensBoredom!Out With the Old, In With the Old
Seems the more things never change,
they never change
Same old face getting older all the
time
See-saw to nowhere sends you on
your way
back where you started, only back a
bit
A dead end driveway with no room to
turn around
A one way street going directly
past your exit
Board the wrong bus; watching as
your destination sails by
Helplessly watching as you’re going
the wrong direction
Take the wrong flight and it doesn’t
matter,
you still end up in the same ghost
town
Empty echoes fill your head; empty
promises you’ll never keep
Staring at nothing sure hurts the
eyes
Drifting reality gives way to
desolation
Can’t quite remember the words to a
song you used to know by heart
Can’t place the face of a
well-known actor
How can time pass so quickly and yet so
slow?
