"I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid."

Frightened Rabbit
writing in the afternoon.
The rest-cure wouldn't work on me.

We discussed the wolves
and the way our minds work:
The Sleep of Reason should be filled with you.
I will not write you today.

It's hand-to-mouth, hand-to-mouth,
cigarettes would fare better.
stop the sleep, drink the coffee down.
write. write. write.
think. think. listen. think.
I will not write you today.
I will not write you today.

I will not write you today.
