Still

[mazzie]

Still
You're a tangled mess
Wrapped up in your sheets
Stinking of sweat and whiskey
Waiting for birds to start their din
Tell you what they know

So you wanna be a recluse
Stay in bed today
Ignore the phone and the door
Pretend sunrise never happened
Untwist yesterday and the sheets
So you can pull them over your head
And stay
Still

Bukowski might say
(Nothing, you idiots
Bukowski's dead!)
Today is a fucking mongrel
Snarling and growling and barking outside your house
Demanding to be let in
Today
I would have to agree.
