Five minutes
Maybe six
That's all I have left
give me my drug again
I'm bleeding that clear blood
Translucent droplets--pericardium's perspiration
In the galley of ship
Weighed down
This tiresome journey
Lord, I'm going to need that bucket
To bail out those droplets
They're forming an alliance
We're sinking again
The crew
They haven't seen the sun for days
Steady monotonous monotonous headache
Angry, Lethargic, Zeroes, Hateful, Erratic, Injurious, Memory?, Engulfed, Repetitive, Apostrophe, Sadness
Smiles--the last weapon, the last hurrah
The last ray through the clouds
The last gulp of air before the drowning
The last...
Lord, save me
Two minutes...
But save the crew
Save their souls
Their hardworking souls
When they try to find the word
Or the story
Or just the comb or brush
Or...You
One minute
One minute
That's all I have left
My convulsions, my fits, my Lord
My sunglasses, so close
A parking lot's walk from here
Anywhere but here
Give me my guise
So I can voyage home
And start it all over again tomorrow...
