Something's traveling north along my spine
My Consciousness has parked itself

As it thinks it's been trained to do
And is positioned waiting

This idea of a Wednesday comes unbound
and is unstoppable

when it's Tuesday 11:19pm
and I lay down to its steam

gathering flatness combined
with acute awareness of avoiding

Oh this stolen time
Practicality is starved
The obvious occluded
By bulging worry
Oh what u must think

And u and u and u
so many of you
how many lost
here in my thoughts

Ringing what
Is that ringing
Alarming as all
Get out

There is another train heading south soon
carrying images of something inflaming

I can't carry you any further than this
No, no one knows to warn anyone

Ya find yer way or i' fines u

Heavily, you pay with your life
fir this time reading lines
