Two Sentence Tuesday #48

            Tidal waves of boredom slapped Geoff from one side of the room to the other, as he waited by that infuriating telephone, chanting for it to wake the hell up. When the silence was broken and Tara’s name finally flickered across the display, Geoff could have danced, or sang, or ran a marathon, or climbed a mountain, or done any other Herculean feat the world might toss his way… except actually pick up the phone. 

Two Sentence Tuesday #44

            Each day felt like an exercise in patience for Carl, as he sat there watching the clock smugly mocking him with every grating tick. Some days, it was all he could do to not rip the little bastard from the wall and punt it off the roof. 

Two Sentence Tuesday #13

It was all I could do to composedly tolerate the clock’s sadistic taunts as it ticked the seconds past with the speed of a snail on Xanax. Would this day never end?

Bedtime Stories

Bedtime Stories

Sleeping…

Happily departed

To a breathlessly wondrous

Dreamscape.

Waking…

Dolefully incarcerated

In prosaic reality.

Otherwise... it's Just Entertainment

Otherwise… it’s Just Entertainment

By Brandon Palzkill

Apparently, I fuck with people;

burrowing deep within their minds

and making them paranoid,

for my own enjoyment,

or out of boredom.

Maybe it’s true;

gotta make

my own

fun.

Impatiently

Impatiently

By Brandon Palzkill

Impatiently,

I’m waiting for it to begin;

impatiently,

for what feels like eternity,

to realize my goal, and then,

I’ll see my life resumed, again;

impatiently.

Day After Day

Day After Day

By Brandon Palzkill

I see myself standing there,

standing still, standing alone,

day after day.

On the median, in between,

watching cars zoom

back and forth,

too fast for me to cross in peace,

day after day.

Can’t go forward, can’t go backward,

can’t do anything,

but watch the passing cars go by,

day after day.

Fruitless, pointless, boring

existence,

standing in wait

to cross clear highways,

caught up; trapped;

day after day.
