my apartment is on the first floor
too lazy to raise my legs to take the stairs
don’t wanna wait for no elevator
morning comes and it takes all of my energy
to get out of bed
I go in the insufficient postage stamp kitchen
brew some coffee that’s stronger than my ambition
there’s a folding chair on the patio
and some plastic plants I don’t have to water
I get up early, at the crack of noon
the warm sun feels good
I read a book for a while, maybe take a nap
wake up and see all the world out of whack
cars and trucks buzzing by on the road in front of me
rushing here and there, I don’t care
I take my time going to the kitchen for some more coffee
now somebody’s knocking at the door
just go away
now they’re ringing the bell
go away I say, leave me alone in my peaceful home
now it’s evening and I look at the stars
Jupiter and Mars so bright tonight
stay out of the crazy bars, drink at home alone
those stars don’t move much
they’re just like me
