What’s the Point?
There’s not enough time
But too much of it
How can both things be?
I go to sleep too early now
But the insomnia still haunts me
I’m running out of time
To do those things I swore I’d do
Write the great American novel
Pen the next Broadway sensation
Write a song worthy of Dylan
Make a film to win an Oscar
Write philosophy and meaning
People care about and hear
Because they love you
And care what you think
And you’re not just the ghost of a girl
Sipping English breakfast tea
Neither in England or at breakfast
Black and bitter
Too bitter.
You left the bag in too long
But you drink it anyway
Because you deserve the bitter
You could have removed the bag
At any time.
You let it steep
So now just sleep
In the bed you've made
This is your life
In 3D IMAX view
Why am I doing this
Writing this?
What’s the point of this?
I’m wasting more time.
