7/2/06 07:30 pm - i still have my sea legs from five days of sailing.
I live in a room
Where all the walls are blank
At night, with their bare bones gleaming,
They hum a tune,
The sound rocks my bed to and fro.
And when the daylight breaks,
The streams of sunlight
Come in a shade of gurgling laughter,
Into the very bosom and comfort of my bed.
Every night,
At the beginning of my trek into sleep,
The ceiling rises
And then falls
With the rising and falling of my chest,
And the wheeze
And the sigh from my lips,
Is in sync with the walls as we bend and breath.
I live in a room
Where outside the city shifts in the weight of a busy schedule,
He squirms in the discomfort of an acid-rot belly,
In his consumption of far too much black coffee.
But he is gorgeous,
His skin a pale concrete,
Dirty garbage filling up his spidery streets.
A full head of unkept coniferous parks,
Runs in splotches,
Like malignant cancer,
Down the neon nightlife of his vapid limbs.
