Monday Mornin'

Monday mornin’ magic missin’, All your achin’ moanin’ pissin’ Bitchin’ ‘bout the way life Left you dullin’ on a knife Lucky live without the strife, And overstress and over guess I guess that goes where great expected Not in the scene, not self affected Long hand pages Gonna show you what your age is Cause I ramble, and I gamble That the words that I assemble Form a sensible preamble Some remark that you resemble And I’m stuck again, put down the pen I take my own advice and then Know what to do, know what my role is Stand by and listen if she bares her soul, this Perspective is revealing, Of the hardships we’re concealing Doesn’t matter, isn’t major, Minor league and little danger That the tan lines will show Might be Giants, you don’t know Sans the supermarket special It can really leave me low Stretch the muscles ‘fore they tighten Stare and blink and squint and brighten Cause I’m waterless and drownin’ ‘Nother round of drinks we’re downin’ Down in City Place, a friendly face A screening and its dark embrace She didn’t see it coming Cause she wasn’t really looking And she knew it wasn’t likely Gotta block and take it lightly And the odds she figured never Gave a second lease on ever She’s a part time muse Fuckin’ doctors won’t abuse Years of learnin’, corporate earnin’ Gave her something she could use Through the early mornin’ haze, False emotional malaise That she knew it and she did it Still I’m standin’ here amazed But the movie site’s distractin’ My computer’s hyperactin’ So we jump to the afternoon Late arrivin’ all too soon.A stream of conciousness prompted by a long phone conversation with a friend Written April 23rd, 2001 © on Jul 03 2001 01:05 AM PST   0 • 10
