Suddenly I’m in a good mood
Why what happened
It’s dawn
My darling wakes up and says she dreamt of an earthquake
And that I’m scaring her
I’m happy
What was it
I was reading, but nothing good
I was listening to music, and the songs were great
But I’ve heard them all before
And no new thoughts, no ideas to electrify
The usual back pain and an average masturbation
Yet I’m here, happy and awake
I lie on the bed
My thoughts assuming a nearing tragedy
My chest clear
My feet peaceful
