Weighing sleep against
productivity, I write
into a new day.
All nighter

Two hours of sleep
Eyes red focus shot
totally worthless but I
still need that paycheck.
Loser
You still up? Dude, it’s
not like the internet won’t
be there tomorrow.
Up all night
I would like to see
4 am start off my day
instead of end it.
Sleep eludes me
like a song title
you can’t recall, like the name
of your first grade friend
Doing too much at Disneyworld
At the Happiest
Place on Earth, worn-out tots shriek,
deprived of their naps.
Channel surfing at 3 am
Late night TV a
wonderland of fast money
junkyard of trashed dreams.
Strangers in a strange town
Our waitress admits
the town has its share of ghosts.
We sleep with lights on.
Why I need to sleep
When I stay up late
my thoughts move oddly like lab
mice stunted by drugs.
Back pain
Hunched and hobbling I
move as if years older, a
taste of what’s to come.
