Malkovich Trauma
It's four in the morning
I woke up to a weird dream
John Malkovich was in it
All he had to do was,
... scream "Fuck You"
And I was instantly awaken
The aircond was too cold
So, I switched to the fan
Then I was sweating
My eyes were still wide open
The tummy growled
The damn gastric juice triggered
Down the staircase I went
Heading for the refrigerator
Devoured three pieces of Tim Tam
And gulps of low sugar Vitagen
That'll do the trick
I should be able to doze off
But hang on
One Sampoerna cigarette had to be lit
That aroma of cloves
Aimed to be a closure
But, no ....
My eyes were still wide open
Perhaps masturbation would work?
(Commercial Break)
Oh! It did not work!
Damn! I am tired and sleepy
Yet the eyes were still wide open
Suddenly, from outside the window,
.... the mosque projected the Azan
Oh! Time to start the day again
This time, with a media presentation,
.... to the board of some palm oil association
And that is when,
My eyes would fall asleep
"Blimmey!"
