When day is night
and night is day
and only the light from a fish tank
is there to guide your way

With almonds on a table
and water in the fridge.
Fruit in a clothes hamper.
Your hunger is on a bridge.

You pass the time in thoughtless thought
and think of what to do.
Toss and turn in deflated sleep
as hours flow through you.

Grasp your ideas
and plan them now
as you slip
back
into
your
dreams.
