Boredom

Thanks for the kind words and feedback Bilbo. When you say "callous and bitchy" do you mean that as a fault or a virtue? The penultimate line of the first stanza is about both the retarded man and the waitress. I was trying to say they were dull, like sticks, and could never be made into anything useful, like a chair. I like your idea about ending on "the world is red." That would make it more punchy and chilling.
