Nightstand

Keep me somewhere where I know You’ll reach. No matter what time of day No matter what time of night. Keep me next to the glass of water You keep on the nightstand, A godsend to waking up in the middle Of the night, Thirst the first thing you feel. Coming from out to in, To save a walk to the kitchen In the middle of the night. Keep me somewhere close, Somewhere decent & near. By a small stack of books, To insight thought, a bottle of Hot sauce. Keep me somewhere where I know You’ll reach, sooner or later. Keep me where the light of your phone Is the brightest, The sonication of a good dream before Waking up. Plugged & charged on the nightstand. Ready to get you through the day. Where you keep one remote smaller Than the other, Somewhere where I know you’ll reach, Sooner or later
