My phone was down To one percent tonight And I’m not going to lie
I was scared.
I thought it was a sign
A sign that I might be Running thin….. Overexerting…..
Over indulging.
Work and liquor have been walking hand in hand down the street Likes its 1950.
And I don’t like a lot of People these days Whether or not that’s because I am reading lots of Bukowski , Is yet to be determined.
I think I can blame Bukowski On the work/ liquor combo. Maybe it’s time for a new job.
The day I quit working in an insulation factory Was the day I finished reading “Post Office” On my lunch break. It was poetic.
Yet this Art Gallery gig could be a good Summertime tool I am reading “Women” afterall. And I do get to work easier hungover Then when sober, and sleeping in.
I took a deep hard look at myself The characters that surround Me the places that I Live and love and the things I like and love to do
It’s the honest truth That I am confused
And young And yet to evolve And full of love
I ride in the back of trucks, on hockey stick spoilers and broken bumpers
With long hair you can say the words like “******”
without being ridiculed. Kids don’t go back to school because if I became a teacher the world would have a few more smarter fools and a whole lot more kids.
Maybe as a teacher, I could inspire, and make one percent of a difference Or even more.
A child teaching children, What a concept!
“Never grow up 101” and “Introduction to smiling” If I could fufill learning to this stage, It would be the world striking And not the teachers.
Maybe its time for the youth of the planet To strike back.
As an ode to the dead phone I once Needed to recharge, With a full battery of energy I vow to live up to my full capacity as a tool of change If my cell phone does to.
“Time to watch a little less Netflix and family guy kids, lets turn on a Ted Talk, if you like them and want to be able to outsmart those pesky grown ups, you should watch them at home too!”
Ted Talks today’s lesson, The peoples uprising in Egypt tomorrow.
