Unsolitary Confinement
Irridescent, luminescent,
Altogether too incessant,
Incandescent, phosphorescent –
Got the light bulb blues.
Light creating, radiating,
Back-of-eyeball irritating,
Unabating, darkness hating –
Glaring on my dues.
Just leave me in the gloom, I pray,
Don’t flood my cell as bright as day
I’m not some freak or cabaret,
Stop watching me, you screws !
Killer of all sleep and resting,
Particle and wave infesting
With your retina-molesting –
Photons spread the news.
Even when my eyes are hidden,
Locked away behind each lid,
Then still you seep on through, unbidden –
Chasing out my snooze.
Lumination aggravation,
Pleading for some abrogation –
No cessation, no salvation –
Won’t you ever fuse ?
