SLEEP
TO SLEEP PERCHANCE
At the 3.5 hr. mark the BELL (310-BELL)
woman assures me that: from our end
there is no problem Except that from
mine there are many I could have a
a short labour in the time this is taking
Martin Scorsese may call to option my
book & James Franco for coffee next
Tuesday So I beg of you Anya at BELL:
re-instate my bleeping beep bitch
When I think of all the broken hearts I have
ministered to who knows maybe Anya herself
is in the throes But for her I have so little
compassion The modern machine has weakened
my moral fibres
Today I asked a handsome young man to join me for
scotch & cigarettes Did you know that the 10 Commandments
are suggestions and Mono-gamy a social construct?
I learned all of this at U of T during my undergraduate
degree
Where a bug-eyed Don propositioned me in 1st yr. Poly-Sci
His Datsun 240Z a pasty yellow Years later I saw him on tv
in the little square beside the weather Middle aged & spent
kicked out of our Government he opined: The insomniacs
best defence is sleep
With this my squinty eyes smiled & my pinched little face
broke into a grin Gary Gary you brilliant ex-politician
re-instate my beep light my fire!
