Awake

I should be sleeping
But I’m still awake.
My eyes won’t close
My legs still shake.

I think back over the day.
Then, I had to laugh.
The waitress may have lied.
I don’t think it was decaf.

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.)
