At the point where nothing in this world brings or even hints to excitement anymore

Many thanks to Gobblers by Masticadores for featuring my poem, "At the point where nothing in this world brings or even hints to excitement anymore"!
the third can of beer
empties

and she throws it
away

leans back into the
chair
and breathes a few times

reaches down between
her legs and starts
rubbing

and nothing

She’s finally there. At the point
where nothing in this
world brings or even
hints to excitement anymore

Where does
one go from that point?

What are the options?

It’s been four
days and nights already
and she’s still
thinking

hasn’t moved
from that chair once

Well, she’s definitely not
the worst muse
I’ve dealt with

just one of
them

Check it out HERE!

  1. Wonderful poem Borden 🤝 This piece captures a raw, haunting moment of numbness and existential fatigue. The imagery is stark and visceral—emptied beer cans, mechanical motions, the void where pleasure or purpose should be. The unanswered questions linger like the woman in the chair, suspended in inertia. Yet there’s a strange, almost perverse intimacy in the observation, as if the speaker finds twisted inspiration in her despair. A brilliant, bleak snapshot of hitting rock bottom—and the eerie creativity that sometimes lurks there.
