#poetry - just like this

i woke up in the morning
jumping out of my bed
the roses in the window
were painting me red
my clothes were locked in packages
i started to sweat
the naked are the fearless
coming out of my breath

  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom,
  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom

i wrote a note and tore it up
what more could be said
sunlight and the afterglow
some fish to be fed
but music without radios
more alive than dead
i'm walking down the street now
running out of my head

it's gotta be just
just like this

  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom,
  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom

it's gotta be just
just like this

  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom,
  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom

the naked are the fearless
coming out of my breath
i'm walking down the street now
running out of my head

it's gotta be just
just like this
it's gotta be just
just like this
it's gotta be just
just like this

  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom,
  boom, boom-boom,
  boom, boom, boom

to the morning then

i came to morning
with a jam and couldn't
find it in my head to
make a warm spot in my bed

so i said here's my bed

then i fed on a crumb
on my shirt from the food
i had eaten an hour ago

i would have said yum
but i coughed instead

coughed till mucous ran
coughed till my lungs bled
and ran and bled up my throat
and into my hands which
i wiped on my shirt where
the crumb was i fed to myself
before the cough

then i sloughed off the covers
off my bed and sloughed off
the clothes on my back
and legs till i stood naked
and shaking and coughing still
but moving much faster
both in body thrusting
and mind numbing laughter

where am i going in my
swaying moment here i hear
my voice tone i know
i will fall soon i hope
i can fall flat on my bed

flat on my bed
flat on my bed

heard in my head not to
hurt my head when i fall
flat flat flat flat flat

in the morning i will find
that i fell flat on my head
in my bed sloughed of clothing
and aching for more crumbs
ready to jam through and
jam it again--in the morning
in the morning oh in the morning

to the morning then
