Jet Lag

By Sammy Ginsberg

Late night
jet lag
what am I doing up
my mind is livid
and thinking so many brilliant things
that the minute I fall on them,
i must write them down,
which therefore
make me move
which therefore prevents me from falling asleep
even though if I didn't
I'd be thinking about it all night
worried I'd forget,
only to forget,

but it's okay to feel this way.
i have jet lag, and that's okay.
