Insomnia Insanity
sometimes late at night
I find myself wandering
around my house
in the dim quiet
aimless
not thinking really
unconscious
walking
looking
but not seeing
pausing to lean
against a wall or counter
prisoner of my own space
my own mind
like I’m waiting
for a door to open
or close maybe
that I can’t see
until a voice
snaps me out of it
hey
chump
shut it down
you’re zoned out
wasting energy
waiting for an answer
there is no question to
wake up
go to bed
sleep
start again tomorrow
because this
is insanity right now
yeah
I think it is
