The Game

A boring afternoon this is,
The dullness of the air and the quiet of the trees
Make up  together a mundane aura,
The one of vacant emptiness and serene horror!


And I, a rapacious poacher of fame
Wander from site to site,
Keen on winning this elusive game;
The tussle between glory and nonentity.
