how can I sleep
when such sweet fiction
dances in my brain
where sugared diction
for my amusement
happily will rearrange
where words play leap frog
behind, my not so tired eyes
and stories peek from out each tree
in a forest of possibilities
the work of the morrow lurches
and I flinch
at the hands on the clock
who mock
my silly literary escapades
sadly words, adieu
I must say adieu
for you are play
and you do not pay
ah crap!
the sun is peeking through
