Useless Restlessness

by, Cassandra

Restlessness creeps in with the
tap tap tapping of fingers and the
non-stop motion of emotion.

Words seem inadequate.
Kinetic energy trapped in a
endless loop of uselessness.

It's the pacing of feet,
one two three four and
turn. Repeat. Repeat.

Nothing gained.
Nothing earned.
Nothing risked.
Nothing lost.

One two three four and
turn. Repeat. Repeat.

Useless restlessness.
