I got nothing.
But this.
It’s 1 AM.
But the mind’s at work.
Ideas come and go.
Sleep sweeps away all of that.
To drag you to bed.
To create new ideas in your mind.
So intriguing that you fail to get away in the morning.
Dreams will drag you from bed though.
Because they need to be made.
YAWN.
Get some rest please.
Setting: A crowded departure concourse for a broken, underfunded train system in an improving, but problematic city train station. The subject: A mother.
10 minute delay.
Sitting in the living room
Watching the evening news,
Which you made me do,
Because it's “stimulating”
I wait until you called out
“Dinner!”
Lying on plush couches,
Scrolling mindlessly on TikTok,
Then David Muir says something.
“The Supreme Court is destroying democracy.”

It's funny how some of our best ideas seem to come to us at night (if you're a certain kind of person, anyway). But you're right, you need sleep to expand on those ideas and fully realize your dreams! Rest is so important, something that cannot be stressed enough... I love that that was your ending note.
The fact that I woke up at 3am today and just started writing poems 😭 totally get this feeling
