Ennui

Chris Butler

Repetition perpetuates habits and/or vices
and routine creates unconscious existence,
because everyday is the same.

Remember to floss fuzzy teeth, then wash, rinse and repeat my hair,
apply deodorant and wear clean underwear.
Repetition perpetuates healthy habits.

Out the door for work at the store to perform boring chores, firing my desire to quit,
it becomes so redundant I break for fifteen to shoot shit.
Everyday stays the same.

After punching out, I stagger towards the corner tavern for happy hour,
to drink myself under the influence of warm liquor.
Repetition perpetuates enticing vices.

Dinner’s for practicing good posture with dulled elbows off of the dining table,
over fine china troughs of dead animals and vegetables.
Everyday is always the same.

Night’s disgrace digs my final resting place,
rolling away from a kiss on a familiar face.
They say repetition perpetuates habits and/or vices,
neglecting that everyday remains the same.
