It’s only in the middle of the night
almost dawn, you can say,
when I get going
at a time when I should have been
amidst a placid slumber.

And then,
I have
all the time to think
all the things to speak
all the things to write
and a tremendous will
to create something
out of my lacklustre life.

But then,
it’s too late, and
I need to sleep
to wake up after some time
and go out to work
work some more
and get back home
to wait,
till it’s the middle of the night
almost dawn.
