Wake.
April 5, 2014
Wake and Do
As you’ve always Done
As you will always Do
Forever.
Wake and clean,
Wake and obey,
Wake and bake.
Wake and take
Just one or two.
You can try to feel pristine
Live for diamorphine
Ecstasy or caffeine
Numb from the routine
Wake and panic,
Wake and shake,
Wake and need,
Wake and pain.
You don’t want to feel again.
Pick up the bottle
Glass, plastic childproof cap.
Pick up the needle
You need to feel normal.
But you’re caught in between,
Helplessly numb from the daily routine.
