Night Flight

it be late at night
but the urge feels right
for an early dawn write

at the push of a button
not quite all of a sudden
mind vapors are put in

all the right places
to slow up the paces
and see what's been faceless

these past many months
despite the sighs and grunts
to log in the soup of poetry stunts

where one can build castles
without all the hassles
of computer program rascals

their logic of contexts and contents
a constant of restraints
that somehow just stinks

up down and sideways
nights and days
trying usual and imaginary ways

to log on then today
an email came this way
what happened i can't say

things just went right
this odd saturday night
my butterfly...now...in flight

stan sand
