Written by Will Baxter
It’s just another night that went
Like every other night, night
Sleep can wait. When
Lights and lashes and
Dancers and prancers and
Posers and chancers and their
Words aren’t always harmless, and
We never fight the darkness that
The sky nightly obliges on us.
We live our lives by laws and labels,
No time to sleep, we go
To the same bottles to drink,
To the same deep thoughts we hope we can sink
And drown in empty bottles,
Clink when we finish the glass or bottle or bar or
However far we have to go, just to make it feel
Like every other night.
The night that always ends up with our empty heads snoring down in the sink,
Having thrown up and flushed down almost everything,
Everything but what we think,
They float up to the surface after dreamless sleep.
‘Never again’ never happens, you
Tie the same shoes at the same time as you usual
On the Friday next week.
