I stay up too late as a matter of habit. | |
It’s when the clucking in the head is signaling a think’s gravid | |
and going to drop an egg out; better not sleep through. | |
Better hope to have a microphone handy, too. | |
Here’s a handy clue: it’s a two part story. | |
Go to bed in the end, get up in the morning, | |
but don’t ask the third act, it happened as I slept. | |
Meant to maintain consciousness, wasn’t adept. | |
What was it I kept meaning to do, make happen, | |
from quarter to two until Gm come tapping, | |
like “Frontalot, you ought to come on out of your room.” | |
Says through the crack in the door that he can smell my perfume, | |
that I haven’t been to bed in a week. Come, come. | |
That’s a slight exaggeration and I’m almost done | |
with a brand new record, if I could just locate | |
the edit window that I first intended to create. | |
Spin around. | |
What does it do to your inner ear? | |
Your account: | |
don’t pay the dues? | |
You are in arrears. | |
What I’ve found | |
is we get just another day or two. | |
Falling down? | |
Dizziness does that to you. | |
Eventually give up on any thought that I got; | |
settle into the rotation of the loves-me-not. | |
And the bed’s right there but it don’t quite beckon; | |
try to sit upright for another couple seconds | |
and another knuckle reckons itself uncracked. | |
Can’t remember what I’m looking at, rewinding it back. | |
Trying to find an exact definition for the phobia | |
of getting into bed, I think instead I’m about to go to the | |
all night Brooklyn coffee supply. | |
Making terrible decisions and I don’t know why. | |
And my oh me oh, what is it to be oh? | |
Digital clock come creeping on the three-o-o, | |
but lying in the dark is worse, | |
and I may be in arrears with the sleep but averse | |
to trying to accomplish (is epic how I fail). | |
In opposition to the pillow, pillow prevails. |
I stay up too late as a matter of habit. | |
It' s when the clucking in the head is signaling a think' s gravid | |
