Wake up around 4 or 5
Just in time to watch the sink fill up
With dishes that plan to wash
Go outside watch an old man walk across the street
Sit on the stoop
Prepped and ready to consume
Breakfast in the afternoon
Candy, cereal and cigarettes
Silver and gold bad habits
I think that I felt happier
sleeping out in a shed behind the lumbermart
Terrified, cold and dark
But the grass is always greener
In the middle of the summer
Winter air is always warmer
When you're underneath the covers
So ten pounds of blankets weigh me down
'Cause I've been shivering
Been closing the blinds and saying that it's raining
Feathers from down-comforters
Rise up with every move I make
Translucent indoor star-shaped snow flakes
Politely ignore me
