At the center of boredom is a dungeon of only dust and cobwebs.

a ball and chain made of steel have sat for centuries

Silence and loneliness bounce off the circular pit,

only made of cobblestone bricks

The complete absence of entertainment gives feelings of impatience and anxiety

Trapped in the the walls of my mind, 

my brain is indecisive and irresponsible.

All witts are closed on sunday sorry,

They open Mondays at 7:30am.

Stuck in the cold and dark, 

No attempt to escape…

except when mom calls for chores.
