My mind's racing
too many stop signs
but it ignores them and keeps moving.
''You'll kill us both!''
Those words fall on deaf ears
even my ears are too scared to work perfectly
up alone at night,
though i might have been the cause of that
but if i didn't drink coffee,
it would just be the reverse of that.
Instead of staying awake and crashing by 3,
I'd sleep and wake at 3 on a sycamore tree.
