the beat

beat
and out of step
out of breath
no pr
save my identity
smoke filled capuccino foam
washed up on the shore
of my online catalogue of dreams
makes me want to scream
wake up!
wake UP!
WAKE UP!
to the hum drum
drudgery of the public radio
morning traffic
in my favorite jeans
triple stitch seams
seems like i have heard this hipster song before
scuffed steel toes
the weight of this sidewalk
on the way to nowhere
i know where
the way outta here
they tell me
and i can share
i had fun there
last night it was fun
gotta go for now
sorry i gotta run
text me later
we'll chat
have a drink
after that listen to the jukebox
remember when
i had a dream
before lay a way plans n mortgage responsibility
we had it beat
we got the beat
listen to that beat
beat down
beat of my heart
bum bump bum bump bump
the beat
beat
beat
and out of step........
