Having watched Friends ten times
The pleasant feeling of fullness still disappears
After turning off the TV
And strangely enough
There's no one to call anyway
No one to talk to
And there's no one to listen to
Phoebe, Phoebe, sing me a song
The only thing that's real
This is what I smelly cat
And your voice helps me get out
From the tunnel of sleep
Weekday*
Sleep**
Weekday***
Sleep****
Or sink deeper
I still don't fully understand the concept of this series.
But now I realize
And I’ll joke in time
Let's sit in a cafe
I'll pretend that Rachel brought what I asked for.
I love cappuccino
(I am allergic to lactose)
But it's still easier than
Living flesh, the unpredictability of stars outside the apartment
And laughter outside
Not the same as my laughter inside
The pleasant feeling of fullness disappears
Leaving me with nothing
In the dark of the room
In the inability to feel
Warmth and safety
In the inability to touch
With warmth and safety
Within four walls
And none of them
Will never break
