Note To Self

Note To Self

A Poem by drea

Note to self:
In the novel you're on the wrong page.
You leaned over, drooled
threw the towel in on the day. 
Lunacy age
the counting of time is for the painfully sane.
So tear the page 
stalk-creep
out and away.
Reverb driveway.
Cars came and went.
My parents: petal to the metal 
racing to complete the same day 
since 1988.
Crash bang!
I've made head-way
but never learned to keep the racket at bay.
My guts imitate the rubber friction rumble on the highway.
My vision blurs faster than the tire rims
I don't believe this to be safe.
Cocaine
some head west to cut out the headache
we've been spinning wheels up and out of personal rain.
Onto the parkway
throwing up quarters and dimes
hoping to catch a quick glint of sunshine.
reflect back down to the human plane.
Shark bait
A hot a*s A halo
A willingness that only comes with the stiff belief that progress will be attained.
New day 
No personal rain
just the clouds in the sky
the hair in the drain.
coal train
jars my head every hour
writing the same tune, riding passengers are the same stray's
the weeks held promise then resorted to the same days.
Drool
Sleep
lack of control
personal history taking the shape of a black hole
degenerate hours and lips sewn tight
with nothing 
with emptiness, purpose is deranged
I see my own growth developing as an elliptical rage
Nailing the performance down on a crude stage,
just like before it will be nothing less than ok.
