An Endless Afternoon

by Melissa   Feb 17, 2008


There was Monopoly, Clue, Old Maid,
Taboo, Trouble, Cranium and darts.
All of the good games have already been played
A million times with missing parts.

Time seems to be moving backwards as the
Water drips drips drips down the edge of the drain.
The sound so far from soothing moves the
Small hand counter-clockwise, making me insane!

I feel the hope draining from my still
And dull figure that has not played all day.
Please! I promise I will be good until
I die! Is there anything left to say?

All of the grey clouds shift west, the sun shines bright
I can now see the park in my sight!
