FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

BUSYBODY

there is no need for some sleeping
pills
to a body which has been blessed with so many
work
each hour spent each minute devoted each second spent
to a chosen apostolate
each thought focused on what good can you do for the rest of
humanity's less and underprivileged
so that when the day is over, and the night comes to you for comfort
in the sweetness of its bosom
you shall
soundly sleep

what dreams of the self you have
they are meant to be forgotten.
