Lethargy

The heat increases outside
Permeates right through the white walls
A lone glowing tubelight falls silent
In the power cut, darkness falls

A constant hum echoes
Keeping awake is an ordeal
My mind saunters into the unknown
Eyes are now sinking I feel

The chatter around is relentless
People working, typing and talking
Cars backing, shutters falling
Children screaming, hawkers walking

I want to get away from all that
My posture is cosier in the chair
I flutter my eyelids at the screen
And yawn, it is now impossible to bear

Washing my face should help I think
I rise from my seat at the thought
And bang my foot against the wall
In one moment to my senses, I am brought

  1. can definitely identify with it.. as lazy and clumsy as I can be sometimes..!! and more than anything it reminds me of my trying to keep awake after the morning bulletin.. sitting in front of the pc or the avid machine..!! :)
