Bored out of my mind
It’s the same ol’ grind
~
I stare off into space
It’s a hopeless case
~
Hours go by
My, oh my
~
Stomach’s growling
I am frowning
~
Desert sands, I see
Golly, I have to pee!
~
Please hurry
My legs are getting furry
~
A long drive ahead
My eyes are gonna be red
~
Nothing else to write
So, I’ll end by saying
~
Goodnight
~~~

I wrote this poem while I was waiting for my fiancé to get his honorable discharge from the Army at Fort Irwin in Barstow.
Collage made using images from Google: sands, woman, eyeball, clocks, and dog legs. Rest of images are my own: sky and my dog yawning.
