I'd Rather Be Choking

I haven't done anything today
I'm at work
The phone isn't ringing
The busy work is gone
I've spent the last 20 minutes trying to play a blast beat on my desk with a ruler
I've been asked several times what I'm doing and why
I'm secretly hoping to get into an altercation with one of my coworkers while they try and get this ruler away from me so I'll have something to do

I've reached a new level of boredom
I can't figure out anything to do so I'm staring at the spots on the walls and imagining how they got there

My boss doesn't want to leave
I guess I could leave but then I'd lose two hours pay
I think this can be seen as a form of torture

Is it possible to die from boredom?
I think I've developed a boredom headache
In fact
I know that I have

I wonder if I fall asleep at my desk if anyone will notice
Would I be fired?
Could anyone blame me?
Can they see that my eyes are closed if I put my hood up, turn my head and go to sleep?

I've taken to kicking the file cabinet next to my desk to act as my bass drum

Maybe if I make enough noise they'll throw me out of here

The scary part is
This is what I sound like when I talk to myself
I'm sorry you had to read this
I'll make it up to you tomorrow
I'll bring you some turkey
God knows I'm not eating any of it
