A Dadaist concept
Of a ti-82
Floats behind my sclera.
The insomniac’s struggles
As evening approaches
Are overtaken by my autonomicals.
Dark comforts,
The birds take their jurist roles,
As I break and nap.
Waking minutes later
To the benzocaine burn
Of my freshly numbed cold sore.
I tap my feet,
Fantasizing in the surreal,
Wanting to create.
In this meditative state,
I realize the next step is coming,
And I must take its course.
