night sleepy beautiful dark indoors in doors
lights outside quiet and motorcycle roar dull hum
of what, wind? ocean? cars ? dull hum city of lonely night
with walls books and dharma bums cigarette smoke
and cheddar cheese fruit flies round the apple cider vinegar
pharma bums meditating medicating in the sunlight way
of walls and cars but
   night

  yes

        the night 
it's okay it embraces the bedclothes even though you sweat too much
and i wish it were cold with the window open smoking in bed with one light
no bugs no birds scratching sometimes rats outside? that's what they said
and bats in the trees i don't believe it
spiders maybe yes
