Receiving department, 3 a.m.
Staff cuts have sucked up the overage
Directives are posted. No callbacks, complaints.
Everywhere is calm.

Hong Kong is present. Taipei awakes

all talk of circadian rhythm

The bull and the bear are marking their territories.
They're leading the blind with their international glories.

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache grey
don't wake me with so much
daysleeper.

C
I cried the other night
I can't even say why
fluorescent flat caffeine lights
it's furious balancing

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache grey
don't wake me with so much. the
ocean machine is set to 9
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
my bed is pulling me,
gravity
daysleeper. 
Daysleeper.
