one of those days
where the whole world
is inside
sad and self pitying
as the sky falls
and has been falling
for years it seems
but that's nothing new
whats new is this
cut on my arm
and the half smoked
cigarette
smoldering by the mattress
and whatever there was
to drink last night
stained in the carpet
as i look around
i already know
its one of those days
but i don't bother to
look outside
or do anything
besides close my eyes
there's enough
to deal with inside
apparently the sky is falling
but life
goes
on
so they say
