Insomnia

Cigarette, aqua, karta
and a pen in my left hand
dodgy as it scrolls along
faster than I am able to think
sometimes
that’s why so untidy at times
if ever I publicise my crimes
we will have to transcribe
these characters into straight lines
crossed neatly out with respective dots
commas where they belong along the ends
so much work for a bunch of nonsense
probably only I understand and true
friends and family just nod and smile
nice work
no body’s got time for prose
as its too strenuous to think after work
maybe that’s why im unemployed

hollywood’s taken over
voices of dun karm muted
only annoyed the children in the exam
trying to conjure what he meant
too busy watchin tv in bed instead
and the dedicated few
thank you
people like you
my holiday
time well spent
or should I have gone to bed
my mind doesn’t let me
so I write
not to be read again
but it would be nice
