Trying to Sleep

Published in The Gorko Gazette 2024

I don’t want to get up to
Turn off the lights
So I wait until
I have to piss so
I can kill two birds
With one stone

I lie here in bed waiting
For those beers to hit the
Bladder, that way I can
Mosey on with my business and
Get some sleep for the night.
But the beers aren’t
Hitting the system yet, which
Might be why this poem blows.
I just stare at the light
Above, now with a migraine,
Just hoping I have to
Take a leak soon.
