eyelids must stay open.

At any time of day,

no matter where I am,

I can always listen to Ray Lamontagne's

You Are The Best Thing,

and feel infinitely better.

Even though I've already had a cup of coffee

and a double soy latte,

I'm still not feeling this;

this computer, this desk, this flourescent lighting, this office--

I'm about to fall head-first into my keyboard, snoring.

(Sometimes I think baristas must make drinks decaf just to have a good laugh.)

Good thing I have my Ray Lamontagne Pandora station.

Good grief.

What do you listen to for a pick-me-up?
