Darn this itch under my skin
Where are you, mosquito?
Come feast some more
Stay with me and suck my blood
Accompany me on my insomniac night.
I’ll just stay awake…
Drink a cup of coffee?
A cup of tea?
But those would make my teeth look dark…
Healthiness and heartiness
My hand-in-hand with heartlessness
and hairy legs.
Should I shave them?
Smooth and tangle-free,
buhaghag free,
free from split ends!
But not from dandruff.
Do you judge roughly?
Are you my Simon Cowell?
I called it quits
before I got to screening;
couldn’t handle it.
Is it fair?
Are you fair?
Fair-skinned?
Fair-raised? Farm raised? Well-raised?
Don’t know…
Can I know?
I’d like to know.
Do you like coffee? Tea?
Nonsense is what I serve best.
Chicken or fish?
I’ll be your steward,
just keep me awake.
I’ll even wash your hair.
Sunsilk? Creamsilk?
Your clothes: fine silks,
Indian silks, imported silks,
Chinese silks,
expensive silks…
I’ll buy them.
Just keep my eyes open.
SLAM!
I think the neighbor’s made is awake.
Shall I sleep or shall I serve?
I’m awake, but I’m not one of them,
so I should sleep
…but you’re still here.
And we’re together at the mall
but I don’t know where you really are
I wonder where you are
Are you safe? I know you’re sleeping
When did you fall asleep?
Are you sleeping well?
Did you brush your teeth?
Colgate or Sensodyne?
Sensitive teeth?
Liquid fluoride, liquid mercury
Sailor Mercury
My favorite color
The color of my curtains
The color of the sky…
I’m still awake!
I’ll take some coffee in a while
or maybe tea
It’s not as bad for your teeth
I’ll eat some breakfast
But no rice
and no butter on my toast.
No bread either. Carbo diet.
I shan’t be fat.
I need to buy shampoo
but I don’t know the language
but you do…
Will you help me?
When you wake up, of course.
If you want, you can help me.
I doubt you’d want to.
It’s 6 A.M., you must be as tired as I am.
Coffee?
No Thanks,
I just want to sleep.
