Summer of Sinuses

That damn clock
Is mocking me again
Taunting my tireless eyelids
3am
Still awake
Just like last night
And the night before
Check my phone
Nope
She still hasn’t texted me
Maybe
I can once again make my NFL season predictions
Or
Daydream about how our date could have turned out a bit better
Toss
Turn
Get angry that I can’t fall asleep
Get angry about the fact that
I am angry that I can’t fall asleep
Look forward to the fact that the circles under my eyes
Will be one shade darker tomorrow morning
Well
After some thought
I think the Ravens will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl
Same as last night
And the night before

How can one dream
When they cannot get any sleep?

  1. Love it, Maki. :) I need to get on my dream poem. Been having some crazy ones lately. Thanks for the inspiration.

  2. Hey, any time! I wanted to write a poem about crazy dreams, but this was a little more genuine for my recent experiences.
