Night Shift

I inhabit that area

Between dusk and dawn

Quiet and lonely

The nights are so long.


Not by choice in this

Dimension I dwell

Why I remain here

I'm not sure I can tell ...


Frustrations build

As the night wears on.

It wrestles with patience

To see which is more strong.


Between four and five

By the clock on the wall –

Is when the battle is greatest.

The victor – too close to call


Someday maybe

I'll have the courage to break free.

But for now - I guess

That's just how - it's going to be.
