Too much on my mind.
Two pills
to sleep.
Too tired
to know
the difference.
Sleep is best on my back
organs aligned on my back
on my back.
But my pulse
last night's beat music beating
in my head
on my head
sway grind sway dip
beat
beat
beat!
pink rose, no thorns from the man
in spikes
and a top hat
intoxicated
by its fragrance - the only fresh air of the night
in the night.

Two hours sleep
on my back
on my back
double X on my hands
I'm not 2-1
I'm just too young
but this is not a place to
ask my drinks be virgin
I may be the only virgin
in the room.
So I drink water
and dance
dance beat sway grind beat sway dance beat
double X on her breasts
taped - because clothing is apparently optional
on Fetish night, when anything goes,
but I don't want to
see his tat-
too...
and it beats... pulse... beat
sway dance grind grind sway pulse
as if I was on my back
on my back

On my back
thinking music in my head
too quiet
to sleep.
Two pills,
too much?
Too tired
to know
on my back
on my back
pulse sway grind dance beat
sleep.
