Staying Up

Staying Up

By Brandon Palzkill

It’s late, I’m up,

I’m waiting…c omitted.

Time and place

call to me

to take the prize,

the moment of glory;

something I can

brag about.

Drowsy, weary,

tv… booyah;

entertainment,

distraction…

passing the moments;

staying awake

a little longer.

Getting later,

wondering if I’m

gonna last ‘til then.

Maybe I’ll just

close my eyes,

maybe I’ll crash

maybe I’ll

fall asleep…

maybe later.
