slumbering

it has been almost a week without an entry. i’ve been asleep the whole time i was not making a dent in the labour force, internalizing my exhaustion and the catty stares from cranky mudgeons in various ways and processes. the flesh is weak. but the spirit, as the cliché illustrates, is not. but rather than float in the stew of the indolent slob, i am channelling creativity. As if. i can’t even draw a straight line. somehow i’ll have the sked, the chores, my sleeping pattern, the tv shows on sky planner and updating the blog regularly figured out and i’ll be able to breathe spontaneously and relax.

Daysleeper

(Buck/Mills/Stipe)

Receiving department, 3 a.m.
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted
No callbacks, complaints
Everywhere is calm

Hong Kong is present
Taipei awakes
All talk of circadian rhythm

I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper

The bull and the bear are marking
Their territories
They're leading the blind with
Their international glories

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much
Daysleeper

They cried the other night
I can't even say why
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
Its furious balancing

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much
Don't wake me with so much. The
Ocean machine is set to 9
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
My bed is pulling me,
Gravity
Daysleeper, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper
