Song A Day

  1. Song A Day #331.  “The Best Day of My Life I Choked on Words and Was Married, continued”

    in my house there is a room
    and in that room there is a drawer
    and in that drawer is a list of all my worries
    it’s an illustrated list
    with notes an annotations
    and entries like nature’s wrath and fury
    and brain aneurysms from being in a hurry
    i eat too fast

    sometimes i go to sleep
    thinking i’ll never wake
    is it only in my mind these thoughts are turning
    or do i die every night
    to be revived by the light
    of the tower in the clouds softly burning
    and the pitter patter of the rain finally returning
    as it hits the glass

    out the window
    the sky is overcast
    if i could fly i’d follow birds
    on their lonely paths
    but i swallow all my pills
    and am fading fast
    close my eyes

    i find the space between
    wakefulness and sleep
    is the very best time for free association
    and most of my ideas
    the ones i throw away and keep
    come in the shower between exfoliations
    not on the mountain top in mediation
    no not at all

    jesus said that money
    and religion didn’t mix
    and so they built corporate mega churches
    jesus said that being poor
    was the the only way to live
    and so we arrest the homeless like they’re walking curses
    we cast them out as if there were nothing worse
    than being poor

    there’s no space there
    for interpretation
    it’s an amazing case of blind
    manifestation
    no lonely history
    celebration
    defies explanation
