all caught up on those missed hours of sleep
two days past, two nights of wired brain,
shuffling across the living room carpet, lights off
quiet all around, with that frenzied internal hum
I’m better now, a three-hour mid-morning nap
all systems GO until the next late-night snafu

I know all too well about a brain that won’t shut off at night!
It kind of sucks, doesn’t it? This is no exaggeration. I turned off my light at 10:30 but was up and awake until 6:22 a.m. That’s the last time I remember seeing what time it was. Twice I got out of bed to read or perform other tasks. Oh, well. The only good thing I can say is at least I’m retired so sleeping during the day is not a problem. HA!!
