I’d rather be bored
than busy
if busy means beat
& beat feels this damn old.
oh I know,
youngster, behave,
but this youngster
knows youngsters
too much, too long
I’d rather be bored
than broken
if I ain’t broke
who can’t fix me?
a drink won’t do,
but sleep
helps.
when I see you in the morning
wink
& remind me it’s almost
over.

A-ha. Whitman's voice (I wonder why lately.) through Kerouac's phrase: "I'd rather be thin than famous." Very nice. I want this one aloud.
