Up one night with bloodshot eyes <br />Who wants a shake, who wants some fries <br />I surfed the waves, stopped to swim <br />The light was on, but now it’s dim <br /> <br />A talking meatball, nitwit shake <br />Contentious fries, all in my face <br />Mindless droning of rusted gears <br />Drilling holes between my ears <br /> <br />Where’s a awl, where’s a knife <br />Someone please, poke out my eyes <br />Loose me from this garish spell <br />A wine induced living hell <br /> <br />Give me a hammer, NO! A rock <br />Something to slay the screeching box <br />Give me strength to fight the fool <br />Else a bucket, to catch the drool <br /> <br />All logic is wasted, as I slip <br />Down the drain, a steady drip <br />Mindless, gutless babbling dolt <br />To dense to run, to slow to bolt <br /> <br />Caught between the haze and hell <br />Falling deeper in the well <br />I close my eyes to stop the pain <br />The steady slipping of my brain <br /> <br />Wake me, wake me, wake me please <br />Life’s too short for this disease <br />Prod me till my senses wake <br />Free me now, before I break <br /> <br />Up one night, with bloodshot eyes <br />Please…no more shakes and no more fries <br />The light is on, but quickly dims <br />I’d rather drown, than chance to swim <br /> <br />********************************************* <br />Copyright © 2013 Leria Hawkins, All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Leria Hawkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-late-night-adult-swim/
