real from HUMAN by Dino Soldo

Here I am with mission figs and coffee
Staring out the window's first blue light
Sharp little slumbers in my eyes
I can't believe I slept through the night
So many worries stacked like legos
A city of plastic sprawling on the floor
So many behind me
Bills like a line of dysfunctional friends
in a DMV line
I cleared the decks with a brand new day
It feels too good I say "are you for real"

Too broke to be tired I was a live wire
Unshielded and sparking in the rain.
Unraveling thread till I tore up the toolshed
Fixed everything and I stopped complaining
I put out a distress call; an s.o.s
Endless help from a handful of friends
Like a cavalry line they rushed to my side
They pulled me out of a fiery wreck
Was stupid and proud till
You cleared out the clouds
I needed to shout it out,
"are you for real?"


Am i surprised?
that "better-off-dead" feeling's in the past
but it never lasts
