Nothing to Do

I'm here in the hotel
By the sea
With nothing to do.

But how do you do that nothing?
I never did it before.
Tell me how you begin and what's involved?
My heart isn't in the job, and
What did you bring me for?

How do you go about
Nothing to do?
What is nothing? I've always
Done something. Show me
How it's done. The sun
Is going down. It's quite chilly
Here on the terrace.
And now I've done nothing.
What do I do next?

Muriel Spark

PS - Achei este poema apropriado à época. Mas não no meu caso que ainda não acabámos de arrumar a casa depois de uma festa de passagem de ano com mais de 30 pessoas.
