Two Pages From a Lost Notebook

I found these two bits of nonsense today.  I don't remember when it is that I wrote them.  They are not much and not complete, but I have not written for quite some time now and I hope that this will give me a reason to try again.  

1:

Graph paper and cigarettes

Black ink and time lost

Late Rent paid in cash

Now I can't sleep at all.

Lost my mind or I hope

There is such a reason

For this all to seem strange

Still I can't find my words.

I should have known better

If I coud I would not

Go back to those places

I left to get here.

2:

It's getting late

but I don't sleep

I'll stay awake

and think about it all...

The times we had

nothing to do

but sit around

let's huff some glue.
