I'm just ...
something like thin soles
scraping along thin floors
day after day
down thin halls
all I want to do is chant
Banchini's mantra:
"I'm tired. I’m tired."
sleep
to eternally lounge
in the comfort of your languid possibilities
Nirvana in inaction
Oh, I'm so...
and out of whack
like holes in pockets
holes in jeans
holes in vim
your snubbing ways
leave me spent
spent like a wooden nickel
on borrowed goods
borrowed time
borrowed rhyme
I’m all bleached out
“...tired.”
and oh so....
