It's 8 o'clock
Feels later.
I'm not hungry anymore.
Show's about over.
Got one more drink of coke.
Two more cigarettes.
Ignoring phone calls.
It's snowing outside.
Work's been delayed.
Get to sleep in tomorrow,
If I sleep at all.
Already played the guitar.
Already jacked off.
Running low on toilet paper.
Apartment's *****.
I'm in between cleaning ladies
Right now.
I am barely hanging
On here.
World, here is my holy litany!
World, here I am
Naked on the couch!
World, my foot's asleep!
World, I could stand to lose
20-30 pounds!
World, I am not a pretty sight
Right now!
World, I am jealous of my
Buddha statue!
Carved in stone.
Setting heavy in the corner.
He is at peace.
