Insomnia Blues 39 words O Dark hundred hours 04 a.m. You can’t sleep In a blue mood You got the insomnia blues Nothing works You can’t sleep You stare at the ceiling. Your mind plays an endless tape Of gloom, and doom worries and fears all night long. the latest dark SF series you saw The latest scary headlines endless possibilities play out. the latest news of war the latest news about the stock market the latest political chaos the endless pandemic Dancing across your mind’s internal eye. What if I have COVID> What if have Cancer? What if I have big Alzheimer’s What if the stock market wipes me out? What if the North Koreans invade Seoul? Where would we go to escape the invasion? What if the zombie apocalypse starts? What if, what if, what if…… 6:30 a.m. Until day-break Blasts you awake As the dawning sun Fills the room. You get up Having had only two hours of sleep That is the curse Of the insomnia blues.
