Half awake
Half asleep
the question arises
which half do I keep?

Yesterday
I
almost burned out
turned out it was a false alarm.

Today
which it probably is
I'll take things a bit slower
and
go at a reasonable pace.

The question that arose
where the answer is on the tip of my nose
or should that be my tongue?

That guillotine is still there
biding its time
waiting to share the joy.
