Woke up, got up, near 11 o'clock. Butt naked except I was wearin my socks, and that’s cool cause most the time this floor is cold. Stand up and stretch look around this mess. My place has been a cave since she left me. Make my way to the kitchen start the coffee. Then into the bathroom begin the triple s; wash the previous evening off me, now. Out the shower get dry, shove a q-tip in my ear; well what do we have here? It appears as if a piece of me has got motivation. Ain't nothing wrong with a little morning masturbation. Fresh, dressed like fifty cents. Clean and awake now I’m ready to commence. Spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge, and that's pretty much the pattern of how the day begins. And I read for an hour, maybe half hour, more, then I put on my shoes and grab my key for the door. Put my headphones on for this world I ignore, treck down the street towards the record store. Hey bro, how you doin, anything new today? Naw man. How you been, its the same old same again. Well then I’ll be gone friend, I’ll see you around, and I’m out destination uptown. In the summertime the women wear a lot of skin and if I sit in one spot I can take 'em all in. Sometimes I even talk, see if I can make one grin and if not, its cool I aint gonna take it personal. From Ann Landers to Annie DeFranco to orphan Annie I love all women, but most of 'em just can't stand me. I dunno, maybe it’s my hair or my clothes. Or maybe she noticed that you was diggin in your nose. Either way its ok, I wasn't tryin to get laid, I just wanted to say I hope you have a great day. And then she stopped with a smile that began to blush. Here take my number, call me up, I’ll come over and make you lunch. I got up and headed down towards the bookstore to check the titles that my man Michael's got me lookin for. My visit was short cause I just couldn't feel that cat behind the counter actin like I’m here to steel. So I dipped back out into the cloud of tattoos, pierced body parts and colorful hairdos, and I question: did Babylon resemble this? Are we gettin any closer to the end of the list? The sensuous kiss, placed on apocalypse. We teach 'em how to make a fist but not to resist. And I’m wonderin, how did we find this position? Well people are people and I still love 'em, especially the women. Onwards to the coffee shop. Maybe muddies for a refill, and some sociological studies. See the junkies while they coexist with the sobers, all the bugging of eyeballs, the shrugging of shoulders. And that’s when I saw her sipping her water. I wanna kiss her Mom just for having this daughter. 'Skews me miss, I don't mean to come across strong but I’ve been watin a while and you've been takin too long. And she smiled and I began to blush. She asked if I’d like to go to the bathroom and make some love. And I got visions of us and the mirror gettin steamed, and that’s the very moment I woke up from the dream. Woke up, got up, near 11 o'clock. Butt naked except I was wearin my socks, and that’s cool cause most the time this floor is cold. Stand up and stretch and look for my soul. In tomorrow I see no promise, and yesterday was like today.
