Over in the corner

John Mayer sings

From an old boom box.

Not that old,

It also plays CD's.

I read a book,

Taking a look

At the Discovery Channel.

(Discovering so much

While gleaning so little.)

In surfing the net

A half eaten bowl of soup

Lies forlorn on the nightstand.

I somehow understand

This to be my life.

Harry Connick Jr's

Soft sultry tones

Call out to me.

Waiting for Norah Jones

To begin, again.

Michael Buble waits

In the other room.

I sit upright in my bed,

In my room,

In my little house,

In my life.
