a

voice

in

 

my

head

said

 

never

leave

home

 

with-

out

eyes

ta

see

 

with-

out

ears

ta

hear

 

with-

out

pen-

cil

without

pieces

of blank

paper

 

then

Muse

said

 

yuuup

right

 

en-

ticed

ta

write

a

poem

 

on

a

rainy

thurs-

day

in high

desert

 

i

hate

wet

feet

so is it

worth me

going out

into

rain

be-

cause

ticed

ta

a

poem

 

on

a

rainy

thurs-

day

 

in

this

des-

ert

 

those

are not

scratches

on black

fence

they

are

 

rain drops

my

mind

 

runs so

damn

fast

 

so much

faster

than

takin

out

one's

own

trash

 

my

mind

 

runs so

damn

fast

 

it's

like

my foot

mis-

sing

tryin

ta

kick

 

my

own

black

ass

 

my

mind

runs so

damn

fast

burning

in

high

desert

 

same

night so

cold that

this guy

at 11:30

in the next
