The Track On My Timeline

"THE TRACK ON MY TIMELINE" I'm up, I'm up. I yawn, I stretch, I rub the hangover from my eyes. a day of leisure is ahead of me. no, it really isn't. I've got an errand to run and it involves my laundry. I've dumped procrastination, she was an unhealthy *****. the laundromat is down on Baldwin street. it's a dreadful place for the lower class. hey, wait a minute! the race track! ****! first race is at ten. I can still make it, it's nine-thirty. no, priorities, priorities. how long can these clothes really last? forever, until I'm stripped of them. nine forty-five. I'm at the betting window. twenty win on the three horse! I grab a beer, I light up my cigarette, and the gates open. I'm a glutton for punishment, procrastination is my lover yet again.
