21

It takes me 21 tortures
To put me to sleep
And another 21 dreams
To send me a leap
About 21 minutes before I can face
21 hours of standing in place
Those twenty-one street poles past my house
The twenty-one ways to leave my town
Those 21 songs I've listened today
And the 21 others set on replay
It's like 21 seconds isn't enough
To show 21 is not really so rough
But about 21 thoughts later I find
I'm 21 spots behind in your line
And then up and down, over and in
It's a tumble and rumble, a punch to my chin
And just when I think it's finally done
It's back to torture,
"I'm not number one"
