it’s like a boomerang
of boredom
it pops out of nowhere
unsuspecting
laughing loudly in my face
as if i did something
to deserve it.
i have plenty to do
i have plenty of people in my life
there’s not a reason
to be bored.
this boredom
it can’t be explained.
it’s become a familiar friend
an old friend, almost
the kind of friend you’ve grown up with.
you don’t see it often
but when it shows up
you both just “know”.
a lot goes without saying.
and then it always vanishes
as quickly as it came
no warning
no calling ahead
no really clear plan.
it’s just one day
something happens
or
someone comes along
and you know
this is why.
this was the gaping hole
boredom was making room for
so It could come into my life.
boredom makes way
for something
new.
colliding with destiny
