i can not sleep

there was a pretty song on the radio
it made me happy how a single note hits the low tone and then comes back
like my moods and my socks

it is acceptable that a kid has imaginary friends when little
people stop liking the idea when the kid becomes a grownup
and disagrees with his imaginary friend and they fight
they call it schizophrenia and kill it because it's dangerous

i don't agree with gender rolls or
t.v. shows that reveal the truth behind magic tricks
zoos or old ladies that make you uncross your legs at church
or 50 cent coins that look like 10 cent ones

i wish i was sleepy enough

my knees are cold at night because i wear shorts
i can't wear pants to sleep because i get too hot
weather's weird on april

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops and even then
we'll start again and just pretend 
that nothing ever happened
