Insomnia--A Love Story--Sort Of



I lie here 
fixated 
on the
green 
glow 
of the 
third 
apartment
from 
the 
top 
of the 
building 
across 
the street.

Why green?

I read 
one 
of my
favorite 
short stories 
that was 
posted 
in full
perhaps illegally 
(who knows)
on the Internet.

I tweeted it 
because 
I could
and 
joined the 
willful 
data sharers.

The one 
about 
Maggie's dopey, hangdog look 
is 
one 
for the 
masses.

Brilliant, Alice Walker.

A to-do list 
running 
through 
my mind.
Not even 
the hum 
of the 
furnace-thingy 
can lull 
me
to 
sleep.

I hate you, 
Reticular 
Activating 
System.
