Today I woke and laid in bed Watched cartoons made for itty-bitties... Looked in the mirror and noticed that My roots were coming in full force. Looked down and saw I'm nearly out Of cigerrettes, long out of money My little toes were blue with chill... No wonder, sticking out the blanket all night like that... My room too messy to stand much longer "Later...I will clean it later"... Stepping out into the hall To find the rest the house a mess. Flowers wilted across the table Dried petals that the cat tried to devour Spilled milk from someone awake before me And left it there for me to clean. Mis-flicked ashes around the ashtray Empty soda bottles from who-knows-when Crumpled papers strewn across the floor And a candle left to drip all over... Yet there was a feeling reaching out from in me And it was then I remembered that last night I went to bed upon inspiration Let it stir until this morning..... I'll write a little bitty first And then I'll clean this horrid mess! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |
