I woke up today
Smelling like Sylvia Plath
Bright, bold and
Unapologetically poetic
The clock ticked away
Inglorious sand
And slid off shameless vertices
Off a tardy Sunday wall
The sun slimed off
Cheesecake rays off my windows
And all I could see through glass
Was bright golden nothing
The winged domesticities
Flew by my visuals in a haze
And nestled upon the branches
Which I had uprooted in my dreams
Of a bygone organza
Sundays are meant to be
This way
To make you feel wasted
At the end of the day
Lost in The Use of Uselessness

Lost in The Use of Uselessness
I woke up today
Smelling like Sylvia Plath
Bright, bold and
Unapologetically poetic
The clock ticked away
Inglorious sand
And slid off shameless vertices
Off a tardy Sunday wall
The sun slimed off
Cheesecake rays off my windows
And all I could see through glass
Was bright golden nothing
The winged domesticities
Flew by my visuals in a haze
And nestled upon the branches
Which I had uprooted in my dreams
Of a bygone organza
Sundays are meant to be
This way
To make you feel wasted
At the end of the day

Sundays are mean to feel this way.. I love it coz I feel like that on Sunday's.
Also, "The sun slimed off
Cheesecake rays off my windows..." is an interesting word picture. :) -
