Cool Groove #7
------


Clock on the wall, watch me pace
Sleepless halls, never awake                    
A walking stride, all misplaced
Objects and thoughts turn astray

Note left behind addressed to self
Reads “more attention to mental health”
Was it you who arranged the house?
Left pictures crooked on the shelf
All the books stacked up in threes
Down the stairs, I’m asking please
Keep your lies out of my head
I’m getting old and restless



        The man on the corner
        Puts the camera to his eye
        And watches the stream of cars
        Pour on by
        It's been minutes already
        Or maybe even days
        Things collect dust
        And dust collects time
        What day did you say it was, 
            again?
        What day did you say it was?



Clock on the wall,
    Clock on the wall...


I’ve
    been
        sleepwalking
            again
