Long Day’s Journey
It’s late on a long day
I have to go to the bathroom
I learned not to while a teacher
Not that it’s been a bad day
I got my car from the body shop
It had been hit without me in it
Some weeks ago
Now it looks shiny
(‘cause they washed it)
I’ll learn to use the clutch again
Since the rental was an automatic
I’ve been watching horror movies
Because it’s the end
Of October
‘Tis the season, as it were
I’m not a child
I didn’t watch with popcorn
I had some crackers with some Coke,
Which I tell myself
Is good for my stomach against
All the pills I take
At the moment, I feel too tired
To go to bed
Do you know the feeling?
I’m thinking you do
So Good Night, when we get to it
The clock has turned to 1-1-1
