Random nights again
I'm staying up late again
into the night
and closing my eyes for a moment
before they are open again
and I am hungry
or I want to be busy
or I want to talk
or to jump
or to just get some rest.
And my ears feel plugged
and the silence plugs them further,
and I stare at flouresant lights
and send off strange e-mails
or try to create connections where there are none.
I'm up later again,
and I can't locate
symptome to cause,
but the cough is gone
and I could very well sleep now
but I can't
and it feels like I'm waiting again,
I used to do this in high school
sit here waiting,
for something-
I don't know-
anything
or anyone
to occupy me
Fuck the connected generation
for communication and speaking with another
has left me lonely again.

recent rereading of your poems in lieu of a new one...
the shame in flimsy technology connections. in yet look at our fragile tie.
strangers? indeed. yet somehow you seen to appreciate, without even knowing my name.
that my friend, is worth the mysterious and disconcerting late nights.
