Three minutes alone with Jebediah

It started when I looked at the clock:

 

                       9:17

 

The coffee maker convinced me to stay

Had I planned to leave?

Yes, of course, the channel

I left it on

 

She's there. Again?

Wait, I heard that!

Who's there?

 

#*“Could find my way to Marianna---ahah--ah”

 

The sine wave! That's it!

I left them in the car.

These fibers are congregating

They want to get me,

But I am just a flea!*

 

It started when I looked at the clock:

 

                      9:18

 

I sat down with Earth and ate Earl's burrito

Saturn bent down and showed me tomorrow

The radio crackled as the molecules throttled

 

^“We're all Immigrants and hypocrites, delusionals and sycophants”

 

I saw my fingers start to disappear

Then my hands, my arms

Even my ears! My EARS!

 

I loved those ears...

 

It started when I looked at the clock:

 

                    9:16

 

They're here, aren't they?

Radio crackles, you heard them!

They're audible!

 

               (3333333)

 

The gorilla near the out goes strut, strut, strut

I felt the universe collapse inside my gold tux

 

Could you watch my fish for me?

 

 

Marked stuff borrowed from:

# Pixies- Wave of Mutilation

^Star ******* Hipsters- Immigrants and Hypocrites

 

I felt like it, that's why.
