Swing the WheelsA Poem by Jacqueline Corrine
When you wake up in the morning, thoughts fluttering
Noises across the dirty hall that sport splinters Your bed stays flat and your mouth dry because You yearn for the caffeine but don't drink coffee Its six am and they are still in bed No primary colors on a weekend But the engines still rumble high above in the wet grey skies Red lights are flashing to the music of the 21st century, All you can think about is that one hit on the balcony, Where they can't smell it's toxic scent The comb needs to see a dentist and so do you and so do they No point in even stretching, no pencil to push Once the rain tip toes against the window Its all the reason you need to lay deadly alive But, somebody is making you stay awake Cracking open your pupils with some odd state of mind He swings his wheels around right on time I guess you should swing your legs too. © 2016 Jacqueline Corrine |
