Museum

I

There is a section of the museum
called The Idea Factory

it is a fountain
with balls in it

they never clean the water
so the balls end up floating in filth

I smell it
on the walk to my post

every idea before me

II

My insomnia was acting up

I managed to fall asleep in the breakroom

Two of my co-workers came in

one screamed "Aw shit! Lee's gettin' some z's!"

She slammed her locker and left

I made some coffee

III

There is a life-size astronaut
with its face cut out

thousands of people have put their faces in there

It's disgusting

SUPER INSOMNIA FUN TIME!!!

insomnia's an interesting animal.
it's the only time when it's logical to chase a beer with a cup of coffee.
i'm typing this at 6:28 a.m.
countdown one hour 'til i leave for my shit job.
hop on the train with well-rested idiots going to panera bread or artichoke festivals or whatever crap people do up before 8 a.m. on a saturday.
sorry, no poems this time.
just my old friend trying to clamp my eyes shut while he wires my brain.
it's 6:31 a.m.
good morning.
goddamnit.

8:54 A.M.

Insomnia’s back again
talking heads talking war and cholesterol

people smile over Sanka
get the Accuweather Entertainment Weekly a bagel

Tekrit goes boom
and they laugh
at Marmaduke

Quick check of the horoscope

a quick shit

the burning of Rome

she forgot to fill the tank with gas

good morning assholes
