lyrics
speak up, yes
speak up
speak up, yes
speak up, speak up
waking up to tea,
take the caffeine,
why can’t I sit down?
(no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
waking up to tea
take the caffeine,
why can’t I sit down?
(no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
double booked, bagged and
10 minutes steeped, I said
“this mind is mine to keep”
though regaled from the
point of sale to your
effigy, no social receipts.
I can’t seem to bend my knees
or to fold 90-degrees:
a layman lying on a public dais
spurt open valves in Ignatius speech,
another morning pot of tea
that blend you gave to me,
steamed I drunk it all
like a monarch
blank verse leered with
whitened teeth sovereignty—
a full theatrical release,
promotions,
well canonized now
the unraveling performance of
some unclear love poetry
waking up to tea,
take the caffeine,
so can’t I sit down
double booked, bagged and
10 minutes steeped, I said
“this mind is mine to keep”
the definition of idiosyncratic; a beautiful, raw odyssey through depersonalization and free association against the canon and toward a new one Rhys Langston
