Momus Working From Home
"Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so
After all, my mother told me as a boy
Ever to confess you're bored
Means you have no inner resources"
Working from home
Dying alone
Nothing happens in the zone
In the vacuum you want to heave
Exposed and hidden
Struggling to breathe
Frightened pirate
Frightened sheep
Bored awake
Bored asleep
Bored
Bored as hell
Nothing to taste
Nothing to smell
Nothing to buy
On the shelves
To defy
But ourselves
And who to f..ck?
And who to fight?
And what to draw?
And what to write?
"The sky flashes, the great sea yearns
We ourselves flash and yearn"
Frightened by people
Frightened alone
By the web
And by the phone
Bored of papers
Scared of the sun
All the lepers
And all the lungs
Tell yourself that you can face the pain
Going sensibly insane
Scared to death
By everything
With a fever that soaks you to the skin
Working from home
Dying alone
Nothing happens in the zone
In the vacuum you want to heave
Exposed and hidden
Struggling to heave
Frightened pirate
Frightened sheep
Bored awake
Scared to sleep
"Ever to confess you're bored
Means you have no inner resources
I conclude now I have no inner resources
Because I am heavy bored"
