midsleep


At 2 a.m. the neighbor through the paper thin wall woke me up out of a deep sleep by playing this trying-to-be-sexy song with a horrendous base line. Apparently at some point between fumbling for ear plugs and cursing the stars I scribbled down these lines. Now presenting... straight from my near subconscious....

stay up later
ease into the dayer
if you pleaser
baby cheek squeezer

all the songs from back when i was
don't quite mean as much
all or nothing
and not enough

listening to the base line
DUH! DUH! DUH!
hammering into my sleeping thoughts.
as soon as i'm fully awake
it'll stop.

i read what you wrote and i set it aside.
