"Make today mean something."


I walk into a
restaurant
because, why not?
I am
seated
at a table.
I order
a drink
because, why not?
and I wait,
bored.

I get my drink;
I sip it
because, why not?
and
put it down.
I stare at the candle flame,
bored.

I tip my drink over
because, why not?
I place some napkins
on the spill
because, why not?
I stare,
bored.

I ask for more napkins
because, why not?
The waiter brings them
and
goes back
to
his job,
bored.

I place a napkin
in the flame
because, why not?
I watch it burn,
bored.

I placed another one
in the flame
because, why not?
I
drop
it
on my spilled drink
because, why not?
I wait,
bored,
for the table to
catch fire
because, why not?

I stand up,
walk out
without blinking
because, why not?

I watch
everyone run,
bored.
I watch the building
burn
to ashes
because,
why
not?
