Puisi Kaki Lima - The boring life

I chose the boring life
consciously.

I want to sit in idle
Watching trains passing by
Listening to the town
Waking up to a Monday morning

Sitting down on my navy blue
tired bean bag
Drinking concoction of spicy ginger, stainy turmeric, numbing pepper, exciting lemon juice tamed by the soothing wild flower honey

I chose the boring life

consciously.

Off coffee now and thus

I became 'mundane'

This 'slowness' is making me disciplined

And I am at peace

I do what I want and when I want it

Liberated from time-chasing-dream-crushing-old-me

I chose this boring life

consciously

And I am free.
