Night Rhymes 1


23 books in my bed
a million thoughts in my head
and for all that I’ve read
still feels like decency’s dead 
for the true test of a line 
won’t be measured by time
but by the worth of a dime
and how bright liberty shines
I’m the new kid in the back
can’t think of askin’ for slack
gotta catch up with the pack
and brace my mind for attack
22 books in my bed
sifting thoughts in my head
full of hope and of dread
and so much still left unread
