M. SARAN (  Australia ).


We clean throughout the day 

The mundanity of it kills me 

I am standing there 

Sometimes squatting 

Sometimes bending 

Sometimes crying 

Man, am I bored! 

Bored out of my soul

When I lather soap on my body

When I wipe myself clean

When I scrub the pan 

When I vacuum the floor

When I floss my teeth

When I hang my clothes 

When I write down my thoughts 

All forms of it, takes so much god damn TIME!

Totally Insipid Management Exercises

A wonderful reason to be a sentient being

I wonder if cats feel the same when they lick themselves 

Or when an elephant showers itself with its trunk

But I guess, their mundanity is existing itself

They don’t get to choose unique experiences

Like jumping off the plane 

Surfing in the ocean

Traveling cities

Laughing with loved ones 

Or the ability to create

There are many things in life that bores me, 

especially cleaning

But I guess, it is worth it, for that tiny moments of love we share with others.
