Daysleeper

receiving dept., 3 a.m.

staff cuts have socked up the overage

directives are posted.

no callbacks, complaints.

everywhere is calm.



Hong Kong is present

Taipei awakes

all talk of circadian rhythm



I see today with a newsprint fray

my night is colored headache grey

daysleeper

daysleeper

daysleeper



the bull and the bear are marking

their territories

they're leading the blind with

their international glories



I'm the screen, the blinding light

I'm the screen, I work at night.



I see today with a newsprint fray

my night is colored headache grey

don't wake me with so much.

daysleeper.



I cried the other night

I can't even say why

fluorescent flat caffeine lights

its furious balancing



I'm the screen, the blinding light

I'm the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint fray

my night is colored headache grey



don't wake me with so much. the

ocean machine is set to 9

I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine

my bed is pulling me.

gravity

daysleeper. daysleeper.

daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper.
