3: 01a.m. <br />i snap off the light <br />and lie on my side in the oversized bed. <br />sleep won't come i've had so much rest <br />the past couple of days so i flop on my back <br />to stare at the X of the ceiling fan. <br /> <br />but sleep won't come so i snap the light <br />back on it's a low-watt bulb- <br />it won't wake my wife and i write these words <br />squinting since i've already taken my contacts out <br /> <br />(2005-Bolingbrook, IL)<br /><br />Mark Money<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-at-night/
