The All-Nighter

Home Up

Nine

My ass settles on the swivel chair

Ah… my lovely computer

The greatest invention ever

 

Ten

Did I ever think that it was so wonderful?

I want to take a hammer

And just smash the goddamn computer to pieces

 

Eleven

I’m not going anywhere

Except maybe to that couch

Looking so soft… so comfy…

 

Twelve

Screw the time

I’m too busy skydiving off the Eiffel

With a cappuccino lollipop in my mouth

 

One

The swivel chair calls out to me

“I miss your ass,” it says

Too bad my ass doesn’t feel the same way

 

Two

This house may be haunted

But that’s not gonna stop me

From getting my cup of instant noodles

 

Three

Half my lower lip is all chewed out

There’s no white left in my eyes

You sure blinking is involuntary?

 

Four

Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks

Friends, Romans, countrymen

One and the same?

 

Five

Roosters start to crow outside

Vicious beast growls inside

“SHUT UP!!!”

 

Six

Sunlight streams into the room

I take the hot shower that I deserve

My tears mingling with the water

 

Seven

Unmade bed

Unfinished work

Unheeded plea for rest

 

When does the ride stop?

I wanna get off…
