so physically and mentally exhausted
I was so tired so tired, egg-hausted
I couldn’t think of nothing but my own fatigue
it was like having taken too many downers or so I’ve been told (wink)
my cognitive functioning was askew
missed my exit in a mental fog
making a u-turn in loose gravel median
pulling into the other lanes oblivious of traffic
I couldn’t keep my eyes open
nearly taking the turnpike exit up into the sky
lethargy settling in; gotta keep moving
mind and body like lead
I sensed I was in a dream but I couldn’t wake up
the surroundings and people kept changing
even though I was in the same place
I wanted to get my car and go home
but I couldn’t find it
they kept hiding it from me
making excuses as to why they still had it
then someone led me to my car
but it wasn’t my car
it had arkansas plates on the back of it
missouri plates on the front
and I’m not from either one of those places
I looked at it closer and realized it wasn’t my car either
the guy said he had wrecked my car
so they were giving me a comet I could have
which was perfect because my mind was clearly somewhere in deep space
amid the telstars and constellations
