Sometimes Late At Night
Sometimes late at night
as I try desperately to fall asleep,
three or four lines of a popular song
repeat and repeat and repeat
inside my mind.
The lines of the song were so wonderful
when I sang along with them
while listening to the radio in my car
earlier that day -
so memorable. . .
But when the lyrics to a catchy tune
spin relentessly inside my mind,
they become
all that I want to forget
sometimes late at night.
