I’m not sure how happy I am with this piece, but it’s very “in the moment.” Thus, the grand experiment continues.

***********************

Sleeping beauties on my left

Send up their prayers with every breath

And dream of mobiles, babies, love

A peaceful bliss I’m jealous of

For here I sit deprived of rest

The need for more than second best

A writer writing pabulum, blight

A dullard drowning in the night
