it seems i spend all my
time working and cleaning house
when i’m not staring out the window at
the trees dancing on a thunderstorm wind while
taking a hit from what may be
my fourth or fifth joint of the day
it’s easy to lose track at four or five
i mean
it’s not the dancing trees that take the hit
that is
i’m sure i work
the trees are dancing
i’m taking hits
that’s a window
and there’s cleaning to be done
