mygoodnessme
how does that work?

two days smushedinto 1
i've slept 25 hours in
the past 24 hours in
planes&perhaps 7
different
t i m e z o n e s ?

and here the sky is smoggy
yes,i mustbe in delhi-
this room's got toofew clocks
and they all show different
times

i have been writing poetry in my head in my sleep
words bounce off so easily in there
and i nod off to sleep, speak into my pillow
yesyes i'll remember it late
r now there's nothing but the whiteness of the hotel
tooclean,toopristine
writer'sblock indeed.
