A Summer Night

It’s late in the evening, or early in the morning depending on your perspective. Most creatures, great and small, have surrendered to sleep following their circadian rhythms. Except for one: me. Eyes open, ears alert, why am I the oddball?

Was the day traumatic, playing through my head like re-run? Is the room too hot, simmering thoughts into bubbles? Or is tomorrow a major life altering event waiting to happen? No, no, and no.

Yet, I’ve been lying here nearly an hour, locked in quiet battle with a mind that refuses to yield.  

The late-night parade begins: climate change and their impact, geopolitical strives, and other existential tensions march through like the dazzling billboards at Times Square. One by one. What’s the point? I can offer no resolution, no fix. Just thoughts. Which only keeps me awake.

Hope you sleep well, and don’t dream of me.
