That menacing green
grimacing from the VCR
flashing and blinking
taunting me
as I try to slip into a non drug-induced sleep
I lay awake
Skip through early morning infomercials
People selling quarters on comedy central for $99.95
gotta love the American Dream.
But if only I was dreaming...
Light up-
maybe nicotine's a sedative
put the car in reverse
the spark from that cheap Bic lighter
leaves me more awake than before
Hey, at least it sparked a light of creativity...
My wireless doesn't work,
I'm wired off my Tanqueray
one drink was just a tease.
Thoughts racing,
opening doors I had locked with a dead bolt
god when will I stall out
It's been so long since my last sober slumber,
Can I even do it anymore?
Obviously not.
