song of a wasted week

[betteroffbad]

there were letters to answer
there were letters to send
there were patient phone calls from long-suffering friends
there were hours that fell through me like songs through the car
as I sat with my mind like a buzz in a jar
the point of this song is I wasted a lot of time
now it's friday and here I am reaching for a lazy rhyme
I am writing this song at exactly the last minute
because I wasted this week and every second in it
