4 A.M.

4 AM
"You can't ignore me forever"
Still Dark
Shiver shiver shiver
Damn cat
grabs
at
your
legs
To frightened
To sleep
Neighbors Neighbors Neighbors
Early
morning
Piano
Plays
soft
Jazz
"You can't ignore me forever"
In
my
 head
In my dream?
Chants chants
What is that? Hindu?
Thought it was
a chick
Laughing loud,
too loud late
at night
drowning out
memories
of gunshots
dogs
trains without tracks
Purr Purr Purr
Too early
stop
stop
STOP
fucking cat
too early
clean the papers
"Not Forever"
Who? Who? Who?
Outside?
Homeless in the alcove
Say something
Can't hear
Over "Florence"
Pretty blond
Remember her eyes
Remember mistakes
Don't want to think about the other
Girl
Red hair
Crooked smiles
Hate myself a little
More
rain on the window
Deep voice
that wakes me up
Who are you?
Who are you?
New places, new sounds
Same fears as always
always.



A poem for a flash project in Digital Design. I feel that it's too long, but I'm hoping it will look more natural in motion.
