Sleep Sedition

I am not sleeping, as always,
waiting for the world to shake
and turn its cloud covers
that I may see something new.
We grow too old here
we are not brief candles
but instead we are LED
lamps that witness the world
until we beg for darkness.
I scream lately for an end
to laundry
to eternal same same same,
maddening same!
For the code to change
For the world to see
For God to wake us from
this safe sleep.
Sedition takes energy
and my hands shake
my teeth gnash until
I finally do fall
dreaming into tomorrow.
