Mosquitoes
Summer's pesky buzzy biters
Mosquitoes
In summertime everyone goes
(unless to show off like fighters)
indoors to thwart itchy-nighters.
Mosquitoes.
they bite
and tear the biters do
these unseen nighters
circling
for should you sleep
give unto thee
then wake
to find their wound
on you
then wake
to find their wound
She wants romance with Gregory Peck
But he doesn't come so what the heck?
She loves to neck
And hits the deck
All night long pulsing Zorba le Grec*
*Zorba the Greek- a pulsating tune for all-nighters
again I sit in the seat of a student, back to being a kid.
back to the realities of life, in which I have hid.
again come the papers and exams
back to the all nighters and study crams
again set outside of this basic mold
back to the iron bars, secluded and cold
I am who I am, set outside of the box
my mind is my own, and my thoughts are unlocked
She waits tables everyday
penning stories on her break;
Packing those tips far away
wondering what it will take
to create a paperback
characters and adventure;
Never again plates to stack
not work, it's only pleasure
Clocked out then its off to class
studying hard is the deal,
Hoping to more than just pass
her fantasy will be real;
Determined and with talent
all red eyed with all nighters,
seeing life after student
soon a best selling writer
Self-destructive pursuit of life-long goals,
is how the story unfolds
Late nights,
gradually becoming early morning habits
Mental strife,
Accepting dedication and work instead of a social life
This exhaustion is a product of my own determined concoction
An evil easily accepted if success results frequently
Though it may shorten length of life,
Though it may decrease overall happiness for the time being,
Eventually it will pay off,
and I shall be happier than any king
What you do once in a while causes fright.
How can you stay up in a casino all night?
You keep pumping money into the machines.
Not many people are awake during these scenes.
You can lose track of the time with no clocks or windows.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, casinos never close.
You don’t have enough money or comp to book a room.
All night, you sit on the stool like a mushroom.
Come on home lady, please don’t stay.
If you don’t play, you save money that way.
