His heart beat 72 times a minute
He knew because he measured it daily
counting the hours of his life from childhood
thinking of last nights news and watching the clock.
He knew because he measured it daily
counting the hours of his life from childhood
thinking of last nights news and watching the clock.
Fuzzy thoughts
cloud a half sleeping mind
while musty books
stacked against the windows
bar the light
It should be said,
mumbled the gorilla
that dreams keep time with your pulse.
