*This isn't happening
all of the sudden
we need to close the beaches
and call in sick
Don't cry again teargas
it's not your fault
don't get hot there gun
you gave it your best shot
Song and dance, weekend warrior
soothe your soul
with a little radio friendly fire
The forest can be petrified
the sea wild
working without a mask
is both, you know
It's quite out of this world
but you haven't
really seen outerspace
until you've had DayQuil
with dissociatives
Then you take hot trips
to odd places
like an international
convenient store
where they're always
out of Africa and milk
I wish Monday mourning
would go jump off a bridge
I wish taco Tuesday
would become a festive holiday
nevertheless, our girl Friday
is always good for the job
The weight has lifted
the wait has (week)ended
the search for
my socks and sanity
can now kick off*
