bad sleep blues
the bad sleep blues
my timing's off
no swing or groove
my bad sleep blues
a stomach ache
a dazed confuse
bad sleep blues
no rhythm breath
and more missed cues
my bad sleep blues
forget what i do
the rhymes donβt come
nor pacing phrasing
asymmetry symmetry
either and too
no will to play most
central to me, with my
feelings from my cuff to the wall
to the floor to my head to the cuff
to the wall -
oh god,
the gods,
Lollygag and Pouring
the gods black and blue
and itβs so hard to hold them -
i know, i know,
those bad sleep blues
other things said
can't get the numbers right
the strongest possible plastic hinge
