go to sleep.

so
god damn
tired

like i've been
luggin' round
this baggage

this body
down fifteen roads

down an extra eternity

my god
who's skin is this

what is it to feel

aw hell
this ain't no
sob story

this is literal disconnect
of mind&body

i'm thinking
who done attached
the muscles

the mind shouldn't tire

i sleep so that
my eyes don't dry
i sleep to dream

hell
i'd go on thinkin' forever

but this sack
this failing mechanization
of nature

who needs it

next time around
i'd like to be a flower
and think

just go on thinkin'
in the summer sun
until i'm plucked.
