PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Even on the 4^th floor

of the Midtown Hotel

I could hear

the drag racers on Tulane ST.

It was nearing 4:00AM

and I was finishing off

my nightcap beer.

I look out the window

and see a young couple

embroiled in a verbal brouhaha.

There are some partiers

still blasting loud music.

I’m feeling ready

to hit the hay

and get much needed beauty sleep.

But I suppose

I can’t get all self-righteous 

about all the noise.

Only a fool

goes to the Big Easy

to catch up on their sleep.
