long day

exhausted, i drop
my clothes onto
the floor. take
out the keys,
the watch, the phone,
fling the shoes,
fall into bed naked,
pull up the covers, find
the cold side of a
pillow and grab a book,
toss that one, and
find another, nope,
one more. okay. i'll
sift and skim through
this one. every page
has been underlined
at some point, so i
read those lines. i'm
making it easy on
myself tonight. i've
got no room, no time,
no energy for any more
soul searching,
not tonight.
sleep would be good.
