3:40am

awake

the soft steady breaths beside me taunting . . .

a cough somewhere outside my window . . . I guess he can’t sleep either
too bad I don’t smoke . . . I’d have something to do

the slow constant hum of traffic . . .
yes, even at this hour

off in the distance the moan of an airplane passing overhead
I wonder where it’s going . . .
can I come too?

awake
