Synapsis

My Mind won't count as fast
as my eyes can read
not always rapid fire
but its just enough for me

I go to bed too late,
on the days I should.
I kept looking up,
as if it did me good.
but through the Emmy nods
on my tv screen, Id change the channel
till it starts changin' me.

Yellow 6 and red 40
now make that dive
right through my body
(as if I had a choice)

I bring a pen to bed to lay with me
in case my heart peeks out in my sleep
