A mouse scurrying thru
clothes on the floor
frantically searching the avenue
for a beer
It gets so strange at night
Nocturnal prospects
lead us on a wild goose chase
Heading for the dawn
we count stars
and hopscotch between
moonbeams
endless hours
of eternity
in a single night
It will not go on forever
It must cease soon
All correspondence
is discontinued
a tough act
to follow
I’d rather not
even try
but of course
I will
That’s just my nature
and sometimes
I pay for it
