prose for sleep deprived

Mimi Bordeaux

Break loose—close the deal with the headcases hanging ‘round my apartment—

Nights and early daybreak— 6.30 summer— red

Star--light—orange/pink—

Hue—tainting the walls— painting forever righty ho–bright setting sun--how
 Now I wake up—
gritty—grotty—salty—molten lava as sleepy---head dies behind me—

Doe--eyed—not opening up for the common ideal of sight

Out of fight—everyday man can't get up— out of bed

Just can't go on anymore like this

Jacket hung loosely noose was there

Last time almost a winner dragged the backwards torso forwards back home with myself and misery

Tales of gunfire and fungi
Pinching my body and mind severely nerves like a rocket 
pick less under floorboards drip drop.stop listen to the prunes growing

Poking prodding stinging spinning ringing dinga— lingo— stinga— ringo

Getting me while it can 
Dipping in the play pen for a while

If you listen hard you can almost hear them

Crawling up your spine central nervous system 
Abrupt departure

A7 take off key point Jet life

Face it Mimi
You're about to die

Tonight is the next day in second chances —

Game for the mental state–ment of today
