Goldbrick
Bottle on bourbon on the table
Swirl it around, take a swig
Look at my reflection in the glass
Sexy brown liquid manna from the gods
Bottoms up, Tops down!
Scratch my head, Owww!
Scratched the top off a bump
That hurt.
Take off my glasses, clean them up
Look around the room
The clock hasn’t moved, c’mon, man!
Cramp in my neck, where’d that come from?
Rub it, still there, this sucks
Check my phone, no messages,
Text my friend, no answer
Call the family, no answer
Light bulb flickers, change the bulb
Ah, that should do it, almost blew it
Get up and wash dishes in the kitchen
Grab some pecans to snack on
Crack open a book, read a chapter
Or two or three
Spin the ring on my finger a few times
Beat-box, make some beats in my head
Check my phone again
Throw it across the room
Turn on the TV, turn it off
Turn off the computer, turn it on.
Check email, add to my Netflix queue
*Sniff* What’s that smell?
Take the trash out, trim my beard
Look out the window, people-watch
Sip some more bourbon
Try to think of something clever
Whatever. Try again.
Take a catnap on the broken couch
Go outside, walk around the block
Chat with the neighbor
Scratch my ass, I’m hungry
Get a bowl of cereal, brain food
Get another bowl of cereal, no shame
Check my bank account, need more loot
Check my –, bleh, never mind
I’m over it.
Not even sure what I was thinking
Gotta get my discipline back
But first, I’ll see what’s on TV
Again
A bunch of movies I’ve seen already
Oooh, some true crime stuff
Nah, turn it off, man
OK, grab my pad and pen
All right now.
I’ll write now.
