Monkey Brain
(with winks to walker)


Attempted an early night
turned off the lights
and the sound
but the words in my head
kept forming.

And I kept reading
what else was there to do?

Attempted an early night
yet here I am
with scattered thoughts, again
well into third shift
I should be sleeping.

But I kept thinking
what else if not of you?

Here I sit when I meant to be going hours ago.  
Very soon, any minute now.  

This was lots of fun.
