A Short Nap

Rocking slowly A rattan armchair Tired body Eyes pinning at the ceiling Blank No lizards No beetles Bored and alone Mind loose Eyes dimming On the past Fading away At last eyes closed For the present For a short nap And a better tomorrow

Love those last two lines, Sai Lin -- better than any campaign slogan I've seen in 50 years! "A short nap, for a better tomorrow!" Fantabulous! :) gw
