Scribbles
Coffee, one, two, three with lots of fee
The body struggles to stay awake
The mind wants to be free
The bed is so far to take
This captive of sleep
The body's slave to keep
The mind wants to flee
In the dark when most are resting
This captive of sleep is feasting
On the mind's wild treasure
Of words known and unknown
Of words young and old
The body wrestles, refusing to stay awake
The mind restless, championing to stay awake
Words bounce up and down
Words loud and unbound
