Spending the day
on a ghost rewrite,
figure out life.

This life works
like Saturday night.
Figure it out.

Crazy as a
heart attack
Life’s remix.

Figure it out.
His mind lost
to tow trucks.

That’s why he’s
waking up, free
as a heart attack.

That’s why he’s
waking dormant
Waiting for the day

to get back
to the store, no
patients any more.

Call him doctor.
He’s compliant
no more.
