bed late

up early

new date

start working

no sleep

drink coffee

you can do it

start walking

to the car

ignition

cigarette

ignition

twenty minutes

stay focused

freeway driving

so ghostly

wait on tables

two face-em

too damn tired

to remember faces

sweep up

check out

can’t nap

get out

piano is lovely to me

touch keys

make noise

melodies

conjoined

soul opened

mind closed

what happens next

no one knows

i touch a key

i’m in the zone

finally

i am at home

making music

i can’t wait

the beat i

manipulate

here and there

and everywhere

kind of like,

well, air

to the sky

through the ground

can’t get away

from the sound

goes in your ear

into your head

still with you

as you lay in bed

the last final moments

you’re almost asleep

then you hear

that moving beat

bed late

again

cycles start

but have no end
