poem

 Tired

There’s tired and then there’s tired

Dead tired

Dog tired

Tongue wagging 

Bags under my eyes

Beat as a whip

Out like a light 

Ready to drop

You lose your focus

Like half way drunk

Or just deeply depressed 

But no, it’s just tiredness

Fuzzy headed, brief

Lapses of consciousness

Overtired, my ex-wife 

Used to call it

Sure, whatever.

Miserable as fuck

I’m tired?

Asleep on my feet

Dreaming I was in another life

With urine all over the tables

I was laughing so hard

Tears on my cheeks

Exhausted

Taunted by nagging suspicion

I’d wake before sunrise

Unrested
