Morning Paper

Notebooks & sketchbooks & wine bottles & hymns

What a way to start the day
Spread the love harness pain
Honest work modest pay
Got a couch got a dame
Father bounced at Potter age
Never found a dopplegange
But found a lane to foster knowledge in within I operate

Notebooks & sketchbooks & wine bottles & hymns

What a way to start the day
Write the wrongs love the rain
Honest work lots of strain
Got some perks got a brain
Thank the lord for lots today
Meditate and oscillate
Revelations come when least expected so I concentrate

Notebooks & sketchbooks & wine bottles & hymns

What a way to start the day
Same 14 steps
Same stray street stress
And gateway to recess
11 years the building block
Memory is still in shock
Always keep the deadbolt locked and notepad and pen in the pocket

What a way to start the day
Watching neighbors chart their age
Watching movers cart away
Watching lovers parting ways
Just off of the avenue
To travel from and travel to
Took a stick and etched my name in the sidewalk to capture proof

Notebooks & sketchbooks & wine bottles & hymns

Notebooks & sketchbooks & wine bottles & hymns
Dubtapes & sunrays & high volumes & hers
Moon beams & loose leafs & autumn weather & rain
Bedclothes & friend foes & Jack Daniels & pain
Bridge walking & shit talking & wide columns & prayers
Catch phrases & wet pages & sigh solemn & pens
Found poems & downloading & text message mistakes
Pratfalls & backlogs & falls exiting stage

And what a way to start the day
