If Boredom were a color,

it would be white, as white as a blank canvas.

If Boredom were a taste,

it would be just like stale Saltine crackers

If Boredom were a smell,

it would be as boring as boiling water.

If Boredom were tangible,

it would feel like dull metal.

If Boredom were a sound,

it would be as piercing as white noise.

If Boredom were called any other name,

it would be Quarantine.
