tramadol 
dreams

with foggy mcfog
captain of the 
team 


Did you hear the breeze? 

                it is quiet right now 
    except for that guy who 

coughs    

        It sounds like he is sitting outside in the dark 

  that cough doesn't sound too good
                  

                    but it's quiet now 

except occasional clunks and thumps 
                                          from the neighbors below 
                       or the wind blowing the shade 
   
                                                                        I love that kind of stillness
  
                                   the quiet

                                                                                   when my brain isn't working overtime

                      San Francisco breeze

                                                          off the ocean 

                                              and through Golden Gate Park

                            when my brain isn't working overtime

     still I might relax in the night 
when I should be asleep 
  and smoke a cigarette laying in bed 

              "you'll burn the house down" 

               but it's a railroad flat 
                                 You always gotta be right 

          dontcha? 
wait, what?
   see?    
      when my brain is working overtime 
                 
                                     Oh, I'll smoke a cigarette 
and forget about it 
                             it's not going anywhere
