Convert: Forgetting about Me

Ah, fire alarms,
Just what I need
To add to the noisy cacophony,

Frustration peaked today,
Rage raged fully,
Irritation leaked
All over the floor,

Almost as bad
As the plumbing
In this place,
Which is ailing too,

What’s up with reality?
Is it on the blink again?
Or, is it always thus,
And so, and everything;

Perhaps I’ll find out later,
But for now
It’s mighty slow,
This long journey,

And I rarely know
Where I go,
Or where I’ve been
For that matter;

It’s all natter, natter,
Chatter and blather,
More words to spill
Along with the water,

Enough to sail a boat,
Down the river to
The sea of forgetfulness,
Drop me and mine onshore,
Set them aside
And in peace abide.
