insomnia (college edition)

it's a silly thing
going to sleep
at 4:07 ante-meridian,
saturday (sunday, really),
jamaica, queens, nyc,
with a glass of red
instead of white,
and waking up is silly, too,
to the sound of a microwave
at 12:59 post-meridian
instead of a rooster at dawn.

and today the superbowl
is on and we all watch
and share "ohh" and "ahh,"
and the rolling stones die
right there on stage,
and there are some who
say they like it,
but most say something different,
like they should have
quit a very
very long time ago.
