P. S. Burton
Today is like Yesterday


Yesterday was boring, I did
Nothing. Wanted to do nothing
And had nothing to do
And felt like doing nothing

I woke today and felt
Like going back to sleep

[The phone rang endlessly]

I can tell that today is
Like yesterday
Walked home again didn't
Drive couldn't drive
Tired of doing nothing
But I only want to do nothing

The kitchen floor needs cleaning
My clothes need washing
And the living room needs dusting

[Read over list again]

My head feels heavy
The pillows are so soft
I need more sleep

[I just woke up]

I lost my keys today
And my wallet is under the bed
I've lost some many friends and lovers
Yesterday. Today is starting to look
Like yesterday. I stopped smoking.

[Looks for a cigarette]

The kitchen floor still needs cleaning
My clothes still need washing
And the living room still needs dusting

[Reads over list again]

Today feels like yesterday. I want to
Get high but I fall asleep instead

Today will always feel like
Yesterday
