the last few days i've been clawing at walls
i have nothing to do and nothing to wake up for,
though i can't sleep anyway. when i do the dreams have teeth. side affects may including listlessness, fatigue, nausea, sliver-glimpses of god, and stupid urges associated with boredom: females, alcohol, tobacco and firearms, spending money for entertainment, the need for love, the need for attention, the need for socialization in general. i feel pathetic again, and i want to tear myself in two and spill all over the floor.
i'm completely self-sufficient when i'm working because i am in control. i am a fucking mess if i'm not.


furthermore i don't have any pants.

My admissions packet to MassArt has to get to FedEx by tomorrow afternoon. It's not done yet. Hooray for last minute panic. And stimulants. Long night ahead.

All night long on the broken glass
livin in a medicine chest
mediteromanian hotel back
sprawled across a roll top desk
the monkey rode the blade on an
overhead fan
they paint the donkey blue if you pay
I got a telephone call from Istanbul
my baby's coming home today
will you sell me one of those if I shave my head
get me out of town is what fireball said
never trust a man in a blue trench coat
never drive a car when you're dead
Saturday's a festival
Friday's a gem
dye your hair yellow
and raise your hem
follow me to beulah's on
dry creek road
I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed
take me down to buy a tux
on red rose bear
got to cut a hole in the day
I got a telephone call from Istanbul
my baby's coming home today
