The Questioning Machine
September 23, 2014
The stomping noise that comes into my ear
like there's no other sound that's worth to hear.
I try to sleep but through the headphones feel
the working sounds that break into the steel.
I just lay down to get it over with.
In forty minutes I’ll be standing still.
The fifth time through, that’s why I don’t believe
that this time through will be the one that wins.
My brain or back are being questioned things
as why you act and what you have in there.
No longer I remember why I’m here,
the stomping noise still comes into my ear.
