My Clock Is Off

My eyes have closed again I am way too cozy in this cushy recliner Determined to stay awake I fight my way to the other side of my sleep veil ........................................... My eyes pop open. I am shocked I am holding the I-pad I had stopped typing this poem three lines in. It is 6:44 p.m. if I go to sleep now I will be up at 3:30 again Just like this morning ...................................... My eyes close.

And your muse allows you to sleep? Gosh, want to trade? Mine seems to never sleep and she won't let me rest either. Cute piece.

My muse is saying "I wanted to help you finish this one, you silly goose," but I am pretending not to hear her.
