Insomniac Blues

(I) Wake up, make up. Take a dabblin’ eye break.
(IV) Sip your teacup. Bells ringing. Time’s up.
(I) He’s living too fast. He’s living too slow.
(IV) Gee shucks kid, no one gets it right I suppose

(I) Be Him. Be Her. Be everythin’ but who you gotta be.
(IV) Oceans driven by notions of normalcy
(I) Watch for the suits telling you your identity.
(IV) Internet palm readers selling you your destiny.

Look what they did, dogding the undercurrent detriment
Good luck kid, navigating the modern experiment\

(I) Ahhh, Darwinian conversations, temptations, relations. (sensations, elations) - obviously
(IV) Human connections, statistical calculations
(I) Inborn intentions. Play your hand well, observe their expressions
(IV) Carnival games of attention and retention.

(I) Write your lines and fall into line
(IV) Follow these steps and soon you’ll out of time
(I)

Is this the new normal or just the new crazy

Wall posters of CEO’s mantras on productivity

Brink walls and a windowless activity

Everybody just racing up the ladder of success

The ladies playing a treat in front of a dog

Can’t take it too seriously.

Laugh, cry, simultaneously

Your only path to reinvention

They’ll pry you, classify you, deny you

Until other people’s thoughts have become you.

Son, listen to yerself, you define you

In a crowd of choices you lose your own voice

Everyone loses their own voice in the chorus of other’s voices.

People living through other’s eyes.

Without every looking through their eyes.

Whirlpools of despair from self-claimed philosophers

who haven’t read other authors.

I’m not sure if this the new normal or just the new crazy

The passage left me chillded to the bone

Put a set of headphones on for the suicide remarks
