It is 6:57. Startled am I, by the nights dream. Son of Jocasta, King of Thebes! I head t’ward the morning steam, To rid one’s eyes of the malaise A few stabs And my mind is clear. Abruptly, like fire on the agora. Desire veer me to vices! A cup of Columbian roast, with stoge in hand, I perch upon the balcony, With no intent to slip, I s’pose Each inhalation and sip Fulfill temporal desire beneath our aging celestial fire. 7:54 I am out the door, out out with it! It being me, me being it.

Oh Sophocles!
It is 6:57. Startled am I, by the nights dream. Son of Jocasta, King of Thebes! I head t’ward the morning steam, To rid one’s eyes of the malaise A few stabs And my mind is clear. Abruptly, like fire on the agora. Desire veer me to vices! A cup of Columbian roast, with stoge in hand, I perch upon the balcony, With no intent to slip, I s’pose Each inhalation and sip Fulfill temporal desire beneath our aging celestial fire. 7:54 I am out the door, out out with it! It being me, me being it.
