Again in the Dead of Night . . .

New Moon Haiku
31 July 2011

Eyes burning tiredness
Mindful of missing Cream Cheese
Aardvark marches on

Phantom Pickle reigns
Dust Bunnies float on the Lake
Minced Adverbs Abound

Fan Blades spin Eastward
Mousakah needs Tabasco
‘Davita’s Harp twice stilled . . .

Ambien Haiku

The other evening I was having an especially difficult night sleeping. I'd already gone to bed twice and got back up. I finally took an Ambien about 0115.

Ambien works really well for me, which I suppose is why I don't like to take it (along with other discretionary meds) unless I really have to.

During the 45 minutes or so I was waiting for it to take effect (it usually begins within 20!), I doodled around on FB via my BlackBerry and came up with some 'interesting' poetry.

@ 0125
Brain to oatmeal turns
Mixed with night's weary slumber
Gentle breezes coax

@0135
Noodle disengaged
Sliding to drug fed slumber
Poet slinks to bed

@0139
Too long on sofa
Second Gear untoothed groove slips
Mumbles ummm Biscuits

@0146
Finally reclined me
Back to the master suite traipsed
O2 meets night night

I received a few comments from "I'm getting a perscription for that stuff" to concerns about my reputation.

I'm really OK. I just needed a little help getting to sleep.
