Tired 2 0r 2 Tired

Tired  2 0r 2 Tired



There’s another hole
My right foot has sympathetically
Decided to leach me out of

Going down, disaffiliating, deflation of the day
Forgive me, eleven hours non-stop
Leaves me numb in the head

I won !
Isn’t that wonderful……………… huh what !
Yes, thank you……………………………….so much

Two coffee cups make me jitter
But don’t stop me sleepily
…………………………………………..uh… what was that; sorry ? !

Playing this slow Tangerine Dream music doesn’t help
Three shots of vodka even less
I need a pick me up

Or someone to pick me up
And put me to bed
Tuck me in and sing me a lullaby

I want to be snooky ookums cuddled drowsily
And plugged the holes in my feet
With giant pillows

Do I really need the extra money ?
Tomorrow threatens to work on me with extra-considered vigour
Gee thanks for that mañnana

Thick eyes my bleary vision sticks
As I melt into a pool of snoring dreams
Propped on my elbows staring blankly at this screen

Give it up
Save the page
Close the window

Go
To
Bed

……………………………………………uh …. Sorry …. What was that ? !

Tyesha Ehigiator March 6, 2009 at 4:05 PM Wow, Stunning image here- you have such raw talent, I would have never been able to do something like this-Half asleep-Oh no~I remember when I was chatting with a friend and I was falling asleep, Oh boy all the garble I was typing made no sense, It was like a 2 year old was playing with the keyboard...This was Creatively crafted considering you were dead tired...Awesome write...Try to get some rest and God Bless ~Tyesha

Sharon Winter March 6, 2009 at 2:21 PM You make it very inviting to write with 3 shots of vodka in you - I mean me. I think it would be fun, but I would have to wait till the morning to look at the garble that was the poem I thought I wrote before posting. You, on the other hand - well, just how do you do that anyway? This is once again really awesome. Sweet dreams. Love, Shar
