"no more"

no more

I cannot think.

The clock
she eats
patience away.

I am the toe
of foot tapping.

My fury
is the dawn of day.

Feel the grind
of tooth on tooth.
Back and forth
so rough
and smooth.

I am impatient
flick of ash--

dismissal
of the
hardly glanced.

"Some more?"

yes, more

I can't stop think.

The clock
is ticking

me

awake.

I get this way sometimes...but cant seem to shut it down or get it going. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a switch?

Agreeing with Sharon here...I could picture this as well.
You've painted the scene perfectly.

I can relate to this so well, one of my favorite sayings at times I feel this way is:-

"God please give me patience - But hurry!"

Thanks all for "getting" it...

just a mood-shot of restlessness.

Thanks much for reading.

an almost demonic grip it has.. that..

learned to let go by traveling... used to could not sleep, could not stop the think... until one night on a plane from LA home..I just gave it up... somewhere over the Rockies at 11PM... it just wasn't worth it anymore.

You brought it all back to me! Restless nights full of angst--and adrenaline! I am so glad those times are over!
Gawd, you're good!
