I can't get no sleep

July 4, 2015

I can't get no sleep so I listen to that Faithless song

so I write got the words to keep it flowing all night long

want to get in my car drive fast

techno music on blast

but I lie here and stare at the ceiling tiles yeah I do that too

or I turn my head on the pillow stare at the wall

I do that too

music playing in my head now

and not from my phone

don't want to get up in bed alone

think of seeing some art I've already seen thinking about taking pictures tomorrow at the park at the beach

not hungry so I won't get something to eat

I like the way my feet feel on these cotton sheets

someone tell me when I can usually sleep why I can't tonight, please
