Bed Time

by James Morehead

lying on my waterbed
rocking on a silent ocean

life is strange
on this sea of eternal light
                                          a beacon
outside my window
replaces the sun
                           at night
my curtain does little to interfere

trying to remain
    still
and block out the light
my mind organizes the morning
     study math
     read "Clockwork Orange"
     finish that project
in the end
it is much easier to roll over
     shut out the light
and forget
                 what i can
