at home
head in my cell phone
staring at words
on a white background,
scrolling endlessly.
scroll.
scroll.
scroll.
"just one more --
then ill sleep."
what lies!
i keep staring at
these words
that keep appearing..
love
people
quiet
loud
soul
left
time
silence
felt
hurt
regret
sapphire
seldom
poem after poem.
i can't stop reading.
i can't stop writing either.
"just one more!
for real this time!
ill go to bed i swear"
12:11am
12:13am
12:34am
12:59am
01:10am
02:33am
"ill go to sleep now.
i swear. just one more."
and it's dawn
all of a sudden --
the sun starts to rise.
and it's morning.
a new day,
but im still awake.
staring at the words on my cell phone.
reading one
after the other,
then the next.
