White noise fills my room

Ringing with coarse echoes

Gnawing at my aching ears


The day replays before me:

What I did wrong

What I should have said instead


I fumble for anything to pass the time

My eyes win a staring contest with 

the ceiling


The same record spins scratchily 

without end as

history numbs my blood


At last I let my eyes falter and

pray that I dissolve into 

my bed.
