Impromptu

i woke
last night
trying sleep

i tried it 
but got tired 
trying to dream

realising
i'm already
living not a but

the
dream
segue thinking

not
the brought
up with living

the
american
dream because

looking
at it and it
never states which

of the
americas
north south or

central
writing this
while thinking

about
this while
packing for a

life's
journey
turns out to

be
the south
american dream

Always babbling like a brook. But hey, I'm already over my 10 per day, but mi Musa just texted me and in doing so wrote a beautiful poem. She said I could use it. I'll post it when I can. Thanks always Maureen.
