which day is this?


i wanted to see the ocean

but i couldn’t wake up in time

see the sea

spin a rhyme

 

it is raining

i am on my balcony

umbrella, cigarette

t-shirt and jeans

 

all is as it seems

on the dimly lit streets

one flight below

the early evening has nothing to show

 

coffee brings consciousness

i read quantum physics and reality

the quiet of the rain

knocking at my window pane

 

i forget the hour

till my stomach starts to growl

and i become as wet as the streets

as i go on the prowl

 

this irish pub has pizza

i don’t question just order

down my first draft

as the bartender puts another before me

 

guess i’ve been here before

god i’m such a bore

in this sea of faces

the rain never erases or washes clean

 

i don’t stay longer then a slice

light a smoke in the rain

i wanted to see water

well here i am

 

i walk for blocks before i pull out my flask

the answer is the question i never ask
