coffee doesn't seem to work anymore.....

DAY112 - When a cup is not enough. by MickRheault!

Unfeeling

everything looks flat
(i need 3-D glasses)

everything tastes bland
(i need spices)

everything is dull
(i need a needle)

everything is ho-hum
(someone slap me, please!)

Listlessness so aptly conveyed in these couplets which carry the sentiment so beautifully, evoking the hint of restlessness behind it, seems, frustration lurking in the dissatisfaction of the present reality where energy to live seems nonexistent.

An artful composition on inertia when people can't find the initiative to break a negative cycle. Your slap certainly does the trick Sonya!
