The Person I Used To Be
by Richard LeDue
3 AM musings
smelled of desperation,
while unicorns sniffed dreams
hidden behind my open eyes.
Extra maple cookies
helped the night
seem less like black coffee
gone cold.
My computer keyboard singing
a ten dollar poem
that died as easily
as someone in their sleep.
This was my defeat,
clean like a blank page
and practical as waking up
at a sensible hour.
