Bored

bored

Yes, you can do it, push through it,
face the itching and aching,
the arm twitching compulsion
to do something, scroll something
because through the wall of boredom,
when your mind unwinds
and the confusion, complication,
the distraction and diversion,
interference and interruption—
when the disturbance dissipates
what’s left is the bliss that is this.
It was there but you were unaware.
