it's getting late

Focus is not a camera setting
or a state of mind
but the lazy decision
to acquiesce to order

Somehow i am uninterested
in overpriced text pages
and linear life plans
that worked for boring strangers

So I'll let the dishes pile high
and watch the laundry make mounds
then skip the unnecessary showers
in lieu of bad decisions

I'll let the lustful girls play
and stomp on a few dance floors
then wash my apprehensions down
with another cup of coffee

I'll drink a few too many mike's
and laugh a little too loud
Because youth is fleeting
and I'm chasing it readily
