I began to tap my foot rapidly,

arms crossed with eyes 

opening and closing slowly like 

a cuckoo popping out a clock. 

My voice grew flat and 


monotone, that sound you

use when tired. I nodded my

head, wished to be dead,

while listening to a man

talk about his cat, Bertha.


I wished to be sat, done with

this talk, or outside in the

sun, out on a walk. Not long

after, he left, and I sighed in

relief; finally peace.
