I think this night
in lieu of sleep
I’ll lay awake and listen
to the rhythm
of the trip hammer …
it’s all about that bass …
because the knife maker
can’t sleep either
It’s unfortunate that
in just a few hours
I have to be on my game
the rest of the day
but fortunate
that I will be with people
familiar with the rules of the game
that I have to be on
after a sleepless night
Don’t leave me alone with
a lot of numbers to keep track of
or any paperwork to keep in order
but feel free to note
that my tag is sticking out
probably because my shirt
is on backwards ….
I’ll say something like
‘I wondered where those buttons went’
