How is it only twelve o'clock?
Tick

Shit
A stream of conscious?
How can the stream flow freely
Over concrete dams?
Tick

Boom
Breakโs over
Time's up
Back to punching
The clock
I should punch this clock
Throw my phone
In the reservoir
Snag a pickaxe
Break some concrete
Chip by chip
Chip

Maybe then
The thoughts will flow
Like sweat pooling
After each strike
Until cracks (f-o-r-m)
And the dam b

Boons and Curses
Before him lay his doom. Exasperated, Imperator Valatious collapsed into his chair. Beyond the hide walls of his tent, the evening air hung disquietingly still. He ran his weathered hands through a grease-stained mane of brown hair, uncut since the campaign began.

Well this is FANTASTIC
Relatable poem. I laughed at the end. Well done on your poem.
That last made me proper smile.
Saying to everyone : Stay healthy... Try to be relax and happy...! Congrats on TOP story..!
I enjoyed the fragmentation, since it sounds very much like a typical day at my desk. Especially the doggo! Well done, Matthew!
Very clever and relatable, my pal!
Hey that was cool! I like how it was visually like a waterfall of thoughts for a stream of consciousness ๐
Clever piece of poetry
That was so creatively woven. Very nicely done.
Haha, the ending was perfect. Interesting format. It created a nice effect for the chosen stream of thought.
