I really wanted to stay awake (He wanted to)
I was trying to stay awake (He was trying to stay awake)
And it was about 7:00 on Sunday morning
I'd been up all night and I knew I
Had to finish my work (He knew he had to)
I knew I had to
As I looked out the window, it was bright sunlight
On the orange bricks of the next building
Very bright sight somehow reflecting
And through the window, if I was able to understand
I guess why I (He couldn't understand) couldn't stay awake
It was not conscious
Before I'd realized I couldn't stay awake anymore
But now it's even worse than before
I was listening to a tape of a lecture on (He was listening to a tape)
Buddhism at which I was present
I (He was at the lecture) heard myself
Asking a lot of stupid questions (He was asking a lot of stupid questions)
I was thickheaded at the lecture sitting there on the floor
But to hear it all now, it's even worse than before
Those shoes I had were some name that I can't remember (He can't remember the name)
I found them in a wastebasket about to be emptied
They're mostly the only shoes I wear
When I found them, they had been worn
The bottoms were worn off
Worn off on the edges
But they were mostly in good shape (Really great shape)
When I found out they fit me, I was very happy
But there was something about them that sticks to the floor when I walk (They stick to the floor when he walks)
It makes a noise
I kept wearing them
They got, got wet many times, and now the stitches
That hold them together on the sides is coming apart (Shoes are coming apart) everywhere
And you can see my colored socks in the hole where they come apart
But they stick to the floor when I walk still
(They stick to the floor and they're coming apart) Very noticeable
I stepped in some sticky stuff that spilled by the door
Since then, it's even worse than before
