up all night


All good things must come to an end. 
The children rule the roost
At some houses - and that’s ok. 
But they seem to take gleeful delight
In making noise when they know
Someone is trying to sleep. 
At 2 am. 
What’s important to you
Is not important to them-
Except when they can 
kick down your sand castle. 
Then they still till 3 pm. 


I got BBQ for the weekend. 
I read articles about meat prices
And how they’re going up. 



Coming up on Ramadan. 
People dry fast from sunup to sundown. 
They get up and have breakfast early. 
Then most of the time sleep in the day. 
And stay up all night. 
-Usually at the mosque
But not this year- 

So it’s like fasting over night for us. 
With a little kick. 

Point is- it’s loud. 
The kids are up all night. 
And with the quarantine 
They’re like caged animals. 
Prancing to get out.
