One more recess and I depress the lever then laying prone with a metronome that ticks away like a clock that's gone awry I lie and close my eyes and listen to the steady beat tick tick I lick chapped lips and wonder where the balm would be inside the conservatory or in the kitchen drawer? My lips are sore my life's a bore and so, prone upon the bed I step outside of this weary head and wander through the passages remembering massages and brief encounters steps on which I've stood and wept stairways crept up fitfully just to see what was up there and now I come across the bare light the coldness of the moonlight and the howling of the winds that bite and harried me along for I in fear would not delay to welcome in another day and welcome out the night polite is always best to be never know when you might see or need a darker place so just in case I go that extra mile put out a charming smile and all the while my insides churn my body burns twists and turns and in turns I see the metronome that laughs at me and what a waste then it would be tick tick never as sick as when you're well too much heaven down here in hell. Then rising realising that I'm back at where I started from is like someone has dropped the bomb and I am just collateral a colony of flattery and a sycophantic man I'll be until the evening when I see that no one stands alone with me. In this saturation this desolation spiced up with my perspiration I don't smell so sweet another timely beat from my friend metronome ticks the box and I am home tomorrow I may lie prone again tomorrow just might be the same as if in this never ending game I do not go to jail or collect my bonus from the bank. Why So Seriousο»Ώ well Frank, the Government sponsored failsafe think tank said to me, 'drug free is the way to go and then he went' leaving me with bones so crooked,bent I can hardly stand A helping hand that helps itself to dreams of youthfulness and health I see or rather cannot see what is the point and what's for me but that is just another lie tick tick my how time does fly. Why I don't think I'l ever know the answers that I seek so dearly I'm not nearly bright enough.
