The Twenty-second Poem August 28, 2022


Why do I lie awake at midnight

after a mere four hours of sleep

and by day sleep grabs me before

I can stop it, without reason or

explanation? I try reading and

that occasionally works, but

my mind likes to be preoccupied,

There are mysteries with aging.

Generally, I’m doing well, but

there are those puzzles to which

I have no answers or remedies.
