I am awake The sugar The fruit loops Sing through my Nervous system Calming nagging hunger Soothing angry child Energizing sluggish body I wish I could rest Not be the ashes In the bottom of The barbecue of life Burned out husk At 33 Magic number failing me now As I pull yet another Rabbit from my hat More skill than Bullwinkle But as tired as a melting witch And the ever present Stake of the world Drags me further And I wish harder For a simpler fate But I know there is not A simpler answer And I don't know What to do Who to test Who to try to be I just numb myself Enough Sink deep enough Into the fog on the Fringes of my mind And all is not well But well-organized And I wonder If this world is it or if it is just Another go at it Another spin on the Karmic wheel And hoping I had some fun once And hope I will again.
