Daily Grind
can’t even
do that
the phone’s ringing
someone’s at the door
the dog’s barking
the birds are squawking
the dryer buzzer’s ringing
the oven timer’s beeping
and I’m getting old
and everyone around me is getting old
and my patience is frayed
and I don’t want to talk to you
or anybody or anyone or anything
ever feel like that
like you don’t want someone to understand
cause they don’t
they don’t even understand themselves
let alone you
but they want to pretend to
and that gets you
so you run
around
in circles
until
you’re too
tired
to give
a damn
so what
if
everyone’s
a liar
even you
who cares
tomorrow’s
another
day
even if
it
isn’t
true
