Awake

Again it is
2 am and I am
Lying in bed awake
My mind jumping from
Topic to topic past events
Future hopes but no dreams
As minutes then hours slip by me
Awake turning from side to side
Unable to sleep trying to use
The time to speculate muse
Peruse and play at being
The lathe of God finger
On the scales of what
Comes next but still
Careful not to be
Too evident but
Aware this is a
Dangerous
Form of
Self
Delusion
Even at 4 am
Hoping to fall asleep
And keep strange
Coincidence
Awake.
