Stages of Boredom

BORING INTO OBLIVION

rump gripping leather seat ~ brainwaves depleted

FRIGHTENED BY BOREDOM

tablet blackout - afraid of the dark

BOREDOM RELIEF

neighborhood powers down - shoveling snow - old school manipulation

DEADLY BOREDOM

fingers chattering      chilling text      —   rigor mortis

I wonder if boredom is simply, the absence of thought. Good analogy.

This is quite original, Kim...your words shine even when depicting boredom.

Thanks, Vijay! Kids today like all their devices and without them they trill of their boredom. We must all learn how to handle the quiet times that exist.
