I’m here again 1:30 a.m. and wide-awake, The brain racing on And the body not really tired. My thoughts are wide and various, But I can indulge in my Favourite fantasy of ‘I am an interesting being, And can save the world’, Which makes my brain Run even faster. How is it that in the dead of night: Problems are resolved, Telephone calls are not put off, Inventions are invented, And a list of tomorrow’s tasks Leaps enthusiastically into the brain Pinioning the thinker to a day of Endless and widely varied activity. Not a bad thing one might think. But, I know from experience How our cat feels, When she chases her tail And can’t catch it. My tail might be vestigial But it’s got the capacity To make me run round in circles. Maybe tonight I’ll be awake all night. If I am how will I cope? |
