Fatigue biting at my ankles
I can’t sleep…
The baby next door, crying
Does she have enough milk?
Waiting, begging, aching
I shift uncertain from side to side, as
My eyes burn to see my dreams
But the popcorn faces look down on me
Laughing.
Hmmmmm, should I paint the walls?
How about apple? Not red, green like the ones
Hiding in the fields on an old country farm
Or maybe I… ****  I forgot to pay the power bill.
My leg restless twitching,
Why can’t I get comfortable?
There are just to many things to do
To think
To feel
If only,
Life was like a red wheelbarrow.

I too think many of these things when I'm trying to get to sleep and can't. Very simple and true. I love it.
