Tired Sex

This poem was very short and very simple. It really has nothing to do with it's title, I think the deeper meaning in the poem is about how bored this speaker is. "I catch myself yawning. Through the window. I watch that sparrow the keeps batting around."
There is a sense of boredom, the speaker seems to just be going through the daily motions of life and near the end it seems the speaker is procrastinating on doing homework.
Haven't we all felt this way at one point in our lives... "Gah... I'm so freaking bored, and I really couldn't careless about this reading assignment." yet your teacher encourages you to read it "It's great literature. " This poem is very easy to relate to, I have felt this tiredness of life in general, just bored with everything. By batting the pages around in the book suggest that the speaker is only skimming through and not really paying attention.
The poem was interesting... it had a deeper meaning which surprised me.
