Getting up
I ask the waitress for another cup
I rub my eyes
cause I need to keep awake
at 9 am
my own personal dawn
reflecting off the steel
napkin holder
by the still unworking jukebox
used in 1972
The tiles match my feet
men sit at the counter
eating hogs
my shadow sits drinking
its coffee wanting to
be here even less than me
I hit the door and I'm smoking
already 85 at 9 am
and the desert looks
uninviting at best
i think I took the wrong route to mexico
and what would ensue
Here the wind
blows away beneath your feet
and you can't see further than your nose
in the heat
spirits leap
in and out of your soul
it's been rough maintaining control
and I know you don't believe me
cause this just hasn't been made
