Two Am

It is two AM and I sit here, my computer screen staring at me, waiting for a decision one way or the other, knowing other will win Will it be Bingo or pseudo-gambling? Not the right fit for that social media site, with its vulgarity and constant stream of pictures of abused animals and kids Have a ton of writing to do, but can't Ennui has ahold of my cold toes and won't let go this day, just like any other...except, no inspiration coming Cats bracket me on the bed, commas, sound asleep and unaware of my dilemma Lucky them - no unfulfilled dreams to eat at their peaceful beings, no talons grabbing They are so at peace that I put away my pens and find a comfy place between them

Ah, beautiful imagery, Sherry. "Cats bracket me on the bed, commas, sound asleep and unaware of my dilemma Lucky them - no unfulfilled dreams to eat at their peaceful beings, no talons grabbing" - I can picture it, and it is good.
