A Good Night Rant

I wonder

many hours

at daybreak I begin

until my eyes close again

I decide upon the moment.

~

I wander

in my mind

hours at a time

whether the right thing

is nearby or a fantasy of mine.

~

I wonder

about interactions,

people’s dispositions

the manner by which talk

permeates the lives of each of us.

~

I wander

through miles

of indecision, a question

might suggest a new direction

yet instead, I’ll take cautious action

~

I wonder if it is all so quiet in retrospect.

I wander a surreal life seeking respect.
