Why does the sun wake up in the morning?
Why do the birds decide to sing?
Where's the excitement, the purpose,
the meaning, the gift? Is there anywhere
to visit, to travel, for a plane to take wing?
How does a dawn greet you, give you a lift?
Gimme something to wake up for.
Got an agenda? Got a plan?
I'm reaching for a possibility, and man
it looks dark out there!
There's got to be something more,
so dare me with it, wouldja?
Unlock and push open a door ...
Share with me, couldja?
Gimme something to wake up to.
Tell me why you decide to breathe!
I'm sound asleep trapped in nothing new...
Gimme something, please?

A word
and then another and another and another
like taking a step
or a sip from some delicious answer
or for the quiver
the sense that nothing's over yet
and brightness that glitters around corners
beneath blankets where orgasms wait
delirious suggestions
hints of laughter
and everything we've ever been after
for the wait that circumnavigates our pleasures
for the all in fall
for the up in cup of satisfaction
for the u in unforgettable
and most of all for the utter freedom of
the just because...
so
off with the covers
get outta that bed
slap on some music
get outta your head
and jam
get into that free flowing moment
where you girl are the
I in Is
shout
laugh
dance
twirl and spin
tap your feet
to daydreams softening
to mile high imaginings
where stars alight on noses
and sneeze their delight

meaning-meaning....mmm.... I don´t know
you wake up for something or someone
in times of focalized desire
or you just wake up to just to wake up
open to what the new day would bring
it´s also intense sometimes
(historical optimism, a friend of mine would say!)
and there are days when you just don´t want to wake up
vacations paradoxically makes me concentrate more in daily life
and also be more in company and more alone at the same time
all gifts of the hot-slowness of this summer
and lately I´been wondering how the airy-me
would feel in the air...

hey, depression is underrated
give me a good reason to scratch my eyes out
and i'll wake up
okay, self-flagellation is overrated
who wants to beat themselves up?
a masochist on a binge
hey, optimism is underused
pollyanna is passing out business cards
eat me, says the biscuit
one bite and you're happy
hey, happiness is not what it used to be
give me a good reason to cry
i'll get out of bed
hey, out of bed has been done to death
throw me a blanket and a way to fall asleep
and i'll give you a reason to get up
but for now a hug and a kiss
get up when you're ready
rest up for the stuff to come

I've decided to wake up for my body,
something to worship, adore.
My daily job will be to make it even more beautiful
'cause that's what it's for.
Off to the gym.
Ain't no whim.
Good morning legs,
good morning arms,
good morning fitness!
After the coffee dregs
gonna turn on the charms,
something to wake up for ...
and y'all are my witness!
woohoo! lol

I don't feel like I am the decider
But
I suppose breathing could be a decision
Freud's last breakfast
Thirty operations on his jaw
Because sometimes a cigar is not just a cigar
He refused the morphine cause he wanted to keep his mind clear for his work.
But finally when he had finished his last book
He decided to ask his physician for the fatal dose of dope
I watched the old woman stuggle for her last breath
each one was more ragged than the last
and finally she found her peace
Somedays breakfast is all I got going
Seems like the only thing I love to do more than sleep is eat.
The blessing of longevity
My golden years
Every day is like summer vacation for me
schools out
Almost every day I wake when I want to
I look forward to each new day
Cause I always got so many things to do
most of them are things that I put off doing the day before
ah well.
Sisyphus was a trucker
he rolled that truck up the hill
and rolled it back down again
Ah Camus
I love you
You learned me how to chill-lax
I listen to my ragged breath and decide to have another cigarette
Decide to breathe?Gimme something to wake up to.
Tell me why you decide to breathe!

sorry doreen
I got stoned again
I just don't look for reasons to live anymore
Something just wills me to
And something else wills me to die. why the hell else do I keep smoking with that thing in my lung.
all a duality the Buddhists say
I think I don't value this body of mine enough because I have become so de-eroticized. And this body is all I got.
I rode my motor cycle stoned today for the first time
I rationalized it by saying maybe I would enjoy it more
Get over my fear.
It seemed to work
THe wind was gusting to forty miles an hour
It was better than a sail boat
It felt so good
My motor cycle, my dog, and this compulsive scribling, food, music, all fuel me.
SOmething happened to me this past year
I am up everyday before daylight
Seems it is true the older I get the less sleep I need
I wish I had more poetry to offer than this ragged text.
I get off on everyday
Every one seems more precious than the last
I don't even need to get stoned in the morning to get going
I am smoking less than I ever have and enjoying it more
But I have not let up on the tobacco yet
Breathe for me sister
Breathe for us
we need you
I need you
Maybe that is the main reason I keep on breathing
I live to love
Rationalization
I say my sister needs me, my nephew needs me, my brother needs me.
I need me.
god I can't shut up tonight
help help
I am typing and I can't stop
