Hello, 2:44

Summoned awake by your pleas
Don’t hit the hay, don’t stop
Strum the keyboard, ponder dreams
Conjure plans and compositions
Study words, connect the dots
Lie awake in utter silence
Break your back by thinking thoughts…
And this time you think you’re tired
You’re just succumbing to the night
To the feelings, catch the silence
A quiet parking lot fights the fight
And a lady sitting lonely
And all those miles aside
And tomorrow’s barely over
She said, today is still tonight
To be more than just a jaywalker
On pallid ground, fall away
Sleep now, sapped soul, disintegrate
Negative thoughts, cynical years, dismissive 
Days, days circulating away
For tonight is now today —
Goodbye, 2:44.
