A night of distress, rolling over and over in bed, <br />hunger pains after eating indicating the new dish <br />I tried contains things triggering the allergy, disco- <br />ver Nici is still up because she is stuck, cannot <br />open documents she has to print <br /> <br />All my hard work in vain, she cries, I come to her <br />rescue by saving all in another format, to her <br />delighted surprise her technologically impaired <br />mother fixes her problem, inability to sleep was <br />to the advantage of my child <br /> <br />Whenever the allergy proves useful, I am resigned <br />to my cross, without it, I would not have bothered to <br />write, would have been a successful administrator <br />like my colleagues, without the fears and anxieties <br />that increase restlessness <br /> <br />Forcing me to try and capture thoughts and feelings in <br />my own words, creating immeasurable regard for the <br />personification of poetry, though lacking the capacity <br />to assimilate all aspects of life, I adore his cascading <br />music mesmerizing my mind…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2010-03-23-mesmerizing/
