Screw the Straight
and Narrow

by Nancy Moran

Insecure
about everything
wish I'd been sleeping.
but I needed to do everything
then procrastinate
and here I am again
can't find my phone
so I can get up
it's 5 am
here we go round the prickly pear
prickly pear prickly pear
here we go 'round the prickly pear
at five o clock in the morning.
find your phone. set alarm. go to bed. never stay up past midnight again.
learn time management.
maybe it's an effective anti-depressant.
maybe.
first step is..uh...forward motion.
and I won't copy Relient K, though I will copy Elliott.
five o clock in the morning.
fuck.
goodnight.
good morning.
goodnight.
