Time Zones

I’m sleepy.
Every night,
Another hour lost.

This is why you
Can’t go home again.

Still, sleepy beats
Jet-lagged.
Coffee doesn’t fix
Jet-lagged.

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
