there’s a rooster here
that’s been cock a doodle do-ing
for close to an hour
apparently he’s confused
about morning
it wasn’t the rooster that woke me though
it was a dream about a vampire
lord tundering I need to stop dreaming
blood and guts and gore
well – a vampire dream
and a dump truck
here’s a thing I don’t understand
all over the place
there’s construction going on
and quite often it starts
going on
between 6 and 7AM
in an attempt to keep
the construction workers
from suffering
from the heat of the afternoon
in the summer
but wtf about the people
still sleeping between
6 and 7AM?
is their rest less important
than the construction of roads
the mowing of parks
the building of houses?
I don’t know
what I do know is that a dump truck
rumbled by at precisely 6AM
some construction worker
that lives down the road
and roused me out of that
post vampire sleepy
and the rooster
has kept me up since
I laid in bed
close to an hour
and I think I finally
have mapped out in my mind
my next tattoo
an homage to who and what I am
and to Rachael Lee…
now all I need do it speak to the Spark
to get it done!
