now it's five thirty and the sun's coming up but i don't want to go home.
there's a bird singing over my shoulder in a tree.
i'm not being metaphorical or poetic, now i hear two birds singing.
i really do, i hope you believe me.
it's a love song now it's flying away.
to another tree over across there i guess.
sunrises happen pretty fast actually.
at least the changing of the color in the sky i mean.
first it's black and you look away and it's dark blue and the birds start singing and you look away and then it's light blue and all the clouds are dark blue and you look away and then there's orange and you look away and then there's yellow.
and somewhere while all this is going on the sun just bounces around the horizon and says 'hey flowers it's time to wake up and bloom' and then maybe is the part where i lie down in my bed and i'm not sad and i'm not going crazy and i'm not alone or afraid of the world or scared of being a failure or upset about something else that crossed my mind a little and made me freak out a lot. maybe after enough of those birds sing and enough flowers spread their little colorful wings, maybe then my head will be able to rest and i'll calm down enough to just convince myself to go to sleep.
maybe.
but not today.
brandon.
