mania MANAGEMENT

a slug of sleep

at a phase of the moon

and you’re gabby in the morning

and a tabby on the prowl

come afternoon

.

but open a channel

and channel a verser

and set a sail a set of fleeting thoughts

like

“Some saw him as an artisan who bartered bathroom enclosures for herbs. Others trivialized his efforts as merely stalling for thyme.”

and

“The ultimate oxymoron is one word. Misshit. Schadenfreude. But two short words are good. Go on a slow fast and think about it!”

soon the expenditure of energy will make you drowse. You may choose more sleep, more verse, or a different worthwhile endeavor.
