Click, click, click
Off the light-
Bright, blinding
White, so white
Is the pain
Flash bulbs in eyes
And my head roars,
Grumble, grumble, grumble
The day speaks
In arguments
In auditorium of my head
Tilt, tilt, tilt
And hope to empty out
Words like loose change
They clang on the night stand
Ding, ding, ding
Close my eyes
And I try to sleep
