sleeper, awake

Always amazed 

At how much I forget

That wine disrupts sleep.

I see this and I remember. 

Sleep is the name of the game. 

I have no peace at work. 

The little reprieve was temporary. 

The little patient can’t commit to change. 

There’s no reason I should feel

Obligated to live my life 

Getting him to try. 

I’m sure Helen Keller felt horrible

When Anne Sullivan 

Married John Macy.

I’m sure Christy Brown 

(Seen here as portrayed in the movie

My Left Foot - Daniel Day Lewis)

Missed his Speech Therapist 

When she got married. 

These cases have such an odd transference. 

It’s like quicksand or walking in the mire. 

Everyone gets stuck. 

I have ideas of what i want to do. 

Can’t hurt to see if I can 
Do them or not. 

I want to do them while I’m still 

Young enough and strong enough.
