Dissociative Distraction Dirge

duh i said to myself under my inattentive breath

i wasn't sure if this was the right way or not

silently while my family slept

the tap tap tap tap of my keyboard the only sound

realising the tv is on but sound is dead, my wife is asleep on the couch

all seems pretty good in my quiet post three am world

crazy i'm not even tired and i had a shit night’s sleep last night

tell you what though, i don’t know, what i was going on about (no yo)

i have put a blanket over my wife and more wood in the fire

of course it's like pissing in a wet suit

no one notices but there is a momentary warm feeling
