I press snooze a few times on the alarm clock
I rise out of sleep like a ship through the locks
At the first sounding call I'm still deep and sublime
With the second and third I surface a little more each time
It's a bit early for yesterday's ghost
I'll just wade around in the fog off the coast
Minute after minute flow swiftly away
Surely the clock wasn't moving so fast yesterday
Finally captain myself into motion
Turn on the spray, cut through the commotion
I push the door and watch the steam clear
As the warmth of the watery womb disappears
Tug an old t-shirt over my head
Til I see it's the one I wore last night to bed
So I pull it back off, let it fall to the floor,
Fish out a clean, faded red one from the bottom drawer
Sweet emptiness
Standing alone, halfway dressed
Emptiness suite
Picture-less frames hung around me
Tend to the tetras, make sure they have food
Laugh at them swimming around in the nude
Hook through the key ring and head out the door
Cruise down Canal and get lost in the roar
Desperate faces of those run aground
Waves upon waves of these strangers all spiral around
The funneling walls of the whirlpool surround
Waves upon waves of these strangers all spiral around
