Week 46

Restless Legs

The subreddit theme this week was "the road". I initially had the idea when Laurie complained about her restless leg syndrome a few nights ago. I thought I'd do some kind of cheesey "gotta hit the open road" because of my "restless legs" sort of ditty. But it transformed into something else.

RESTLESS LEGS

I admit I live a charmed life acting like my shit don’t stink
And I like to think I live in harmony
Though often times I feel so
Out of tune

Tune out the outside when the bare black sky
Amplifies the good reasons why
These lonely bones keep clattering on and on
Like an automaton

In the middle of the night
When I’ve got restless legs
Is this fight or is this flight?
Cuz I’ve got restless legs

It’s late eve and I grieve as I re-read
The transcript of my own testimony
Massage my aching muscle memory
And my decision tree is
Binary

And like a whiplash, a big clash
Should I stay or should I go go go back
Lash my stash to the car and catch the vast at last
I can cast off

Pins and needles in my feet
I’ve got restless legs
Where the rubber hits the street
I’ve got restless legs

In the middle of the night
When I’ve got restless legs
Is this fight or is this flight?
Cuz I’ve got restless legs

Pins and needles in my old age
I’ve got restless legs
Where the rubber hits the road rage
I’ve got restless legs
