Is it early
Or is it late
Frankly I’ve lost
All track of time
Is the light
Streaming in
Sunbeams or moonbeams
The brain fog
Doesn’t even go away
With coffee
It merely allows
For concrete thoughts
Damn if I’m not
Ready to put this
Book to bed
Better yet
To see it upon the bookstore shelf
And listen to the hush
Finally
Within my mind
