Mattresses

Your mattress has had it up to here

And that's too high to tap the sky

That's too high to own a back to break

A back like yours

That your mattress hugs to keep you snug

Throughout the bedbug nightmares

Throughout the slumbers we all need

To breathe a breeze through

The next day in line

The next minute yet to come

It has had it up to here

And now quits its graveyard shift

It is sick and dizzy of your secret rituals

With your secret people, who never ever blink

Who never ever stop to say hello

Well, mattresses have feelings, too
