TYPE YOUR SYNOPSIS HERE
first draft inspired by blue monk reading everyone glorious alive i have to wake in 6 hours and work is hate
THE REST OF IT GOES HERE
Dark Night
maybe the universe gets its kicks when we get gloomy
she sticks the sun deep into her pocket
snaps her fingers and it rains on me
I get cold always forever it seems forever
i can’t call anyone and talk about it
i’m cold, i have 50 friends i can’t lift the phone
the universe bares her breasts, glorious, scary
i want to die i can’t take a shower i cant lift the page
from my stack to get to the words i need
to stay stay here alive next week is too far
i am a circle of suffering i don’t know how to move
in a straight line anymore cold cold cold bared breast
of universe i am not allowed to suck i am hungry
3 packs of cigarettes a day hungry i steal i’m
still hungry i sit in the rain i forget that love has left
her crumbs beneath the door i can’t move to
i cant move, i cant move from this miserable chair
the radio said it’s a beautiful day, better enjoy it
tomorrow is rain i say to the radio today is rain
you don’t speak for me! you don’t speak for my
suffering loves, friends, 50--each with a dark night
time table of their own--stabbed in the side,
hung on the cross is each of us, each in our own time
and the hieroglyphs of tears is all i can write
in this time of rain, cold sun stuffed in a pocket
i ask the universe nicely, please, please sunshine
on my face like when i was a child playful child
i wanna play again again in the sun, a new god
at play unworried no cross no cold just i wanna be
please can i have that again just 5 minutes please
the universe laughs says its not personal you take
everything so personal just relax and roll with it
you are an adult now work work money money
if a man doesn’t work a man shouldn’t eat just
roll with it man the universe said to me
and i said, don’t take it personally? serious?
do you see the mold on my dish i cant wash!
the impossible pile of unopened mail i cant open
myself its too hard i write myself strong i am not
strong cold wet sun in your pocket dark night too
long i gotta call somebody the universe ain’t no help
work is worst worst worst money terrible food
money beer smokes i am chained to these
and my friends i cant tell them i cant wash a dish
i can’t wash myself i can’t change my shirt
i cant lift a page i cant love them i cant lose them
i cant talk to them until the sun is glued to the sky
and i’m once again a boy, playful new god
i can’t talk to them again until i am the i that’s fun,
until i am the i they love
