Sleepy time

Narcissism
I am preoccupied with myself
I know there is a prison and I have chosen to be here

I want this prison and I want to find a way out
I want this game and I want to win it
I like lolli-pops and I'm begging for one

Where is that jail key?
Where is that prison guard?
How long have I been here?

Lights out

Coffee Shops

They smell like coffee

And they make coffee that smells exactly like coffee

They deliver exactly what they promise

And they are nicely decorated, one just like the next

When you arrive you know what to expect

You probably already know what you want

And you probably will pay with credit card

And you will probably feel normal

But you aren't normal

You are an american coffee junkie

You dwell in major metropolitan areas

You cannot function without caffeine, or so you've convinced yourself

And you spend $100 a month so that other people can pour you coffee

Title

In this relative reality
Beneath this land of the free
Inside these living rooms
Exists pain

You may catch a glimpse of these reclusive pain-bearers
Spring-loaded with attitude
Dampened with depression

Their vitriolic remarks may penetrate your outer layers
And their faces may rip your seamless stream of thought

The painful embers that they walk on
Don't match the wall to wall carpeting you have installed
The long nights that keep them awake
Have no place in your breezy bedroom

What can we offer these bold adventurers
Exploring the depths of loneliness and pain that few have seen
How to approach a rabid dog
But with a sterile jab of tranquilizer

These cleverly built walls need breaking
And a handsome diplomat needs to be sent in

AEIOU

speck
a small spot
detail
rather small
I can't tell

You know, I don't know
In theory, in practice
Engineer me an apple that I feel safe eating

CNN exclusive
World Cup, The Finals,
Marketing tendencies

Successes and blunders
Sports and business

Jesus our Savior
Mohammed our prophet
KFC our dinner
Biscuits and Buckets

In Denial
Prepare the Palestinians for statehood
Two trombones sound better than that cow bell
Trip the alarm and frame the enemy

Would you like a triple chocolate meltdown?
Your problems stand here on the ladder of personal problems
Do you sell collectible souvenir cups?

How much would you pay?
Would you really pay that?
Thanks, sorry, excuse me
Smoke a cigar

Donations
Volunteers but donations are better
Really, donations
Donations, really, donations
Donations

Ignore that
I do ignore it
Ignore
Ignore

I have forgotten what it was like to be me
How bad is it?
It depends
Sorry I asked

Apologize to yourself so that you can go to bed
Hit the light

Mellow

Turbulence

In the skies and in the mind

Am I traveling at 500 mph at 30,000?

Or am I nodding off in my living room?

How can I stabilize with all this turbulence

Education in America:

I can solve it

World Hunger:

I can assuage it

Maintaining personal well-being:

I am at a loss

Being patient and non-judgemental:

Day to day

Believing in myself:

Where do I begin

Me me me:

blah blah

What a world that I'm living in
