mercury

A few hours straight on a warmish night
Soon as I sleep I see the morning light
But it's a better kind of life when I don't sleep at all
Is this what they refer to as the muses' call

I don't intend to have a better time than this
You could see it too if you would take the risk
I'll forget where I am, I don't need to know
I'm unplanned, dying for the flow
I forget to even think about the eskimo

So what it's not like it's dangerous
At least I'm not a victim of self-deprecation
At least I try; I know what I like
And sixteen hours a day is a better salvation

Who won't write poetry once a month
Is it infrequency from selfconsciousness or sloth
Content to memorize little bits and bobs
Ear worms saying where the hell do you get off

Are you secretive or just a bore
Liking everything but not wanting more
Are you good at it or is it just quantity
Get off your high horse man if you know what you want to be
Sink your teeth into something or just stop bothering
All one should need is the midnight kind of feeling of
See this is why I'm here

So what it's not like it's dangerous
At least I'm not a victim of self deprecation
At least I try; I know what I like
And sixteen hours a day is a better salvation
