Tired
Tired
I am so tired today
All my will and strength
Seems to have leaked away
Seeping from a hole in my left foot
A human skin balloon
I slowly deflate
I can’t rally my thoughts
Or make a break for a coffee cup
It slouches like me in a delirium of non-wake up
Outside the wind is up
Ah yes the wind mad March calling
Battering flags and snapping branches
Interrupts my drowsy thoughts meandering
Polishing pointless inconsequent causalities
Polishing pointless inconsequent causalities
Not a bad line for someone who is half asleep
But the human balloon
Still slowly deflates
Leaking out from a hole in my left foot
I think the best thing for me
Is an early night
Good bye long day; good night tonight
