The last few hours
Time ticked ticked ticked
Oblivious to the circle
Of change
Initiated by outright
Terror.
Wide awake at 4 AM.
Bright lightnight on.
Hello morning.
Sleep at dawn
To begin
A new day
Tired
Spent
Waiting
For early disruptive evening
Rest.
Tick tock tick tock tick
"please stop watching the clock"
Home.
Bed.
Rest.

Pink plastic prickly
Stuck at weird angles
Threaten
To tear out already thin
Brown and gray hair.

Liar!  Or crazy.

A nightmare to the rescue,
A ghost standing right over there,
Don't get in that dryer.  
That's not a safe place to play
Hide and seek.

Liar!  Crazy!

Oh but love and love and
Lovey love.

Liar! Crazy!

*** and coke will make
One run and choke.

Liar.  Crazy.

Mix ketchup with scrambled eggs
Eat, pull hair, look at new baby.
Go through the motions.

It never happened.
Liar! Crazy!

Houseguest to the rescue.
Ghost dressed in
Familiar clothes.

Nakedness, no need to expose.
Garden instead.

Cash
More cash
A bit more cash
Some cash because you know, bills
And
Could really use some cash
Um, cash
A check
A really good job without hours
And
Oh yeah
Thank you thank you thank you
persistence gets paid right?
or produces character, I don't need...
Cash - not a lot just enough
to
Cover.

It's blackout
Look!
Peek behind the curtain
It sure is blackout

Playing with toy soldiers
Green plastic
destined for the landfill
Blackout!

Empire State Building
Blacked out.
World Trade Center
Blacked out.

Playing behind curtains
War.
