Insomnia From Pueblo

(From time to time I’ll invite guest writers to add to the site to share their art and thoughts. This poem was written by Seth Serda from Pueblo, Colorado)

12:20 AM I lay awake set
The alarm for 4AM
I flip my glitter bottle over
Multiple times watch it settle
What’s the noise I hear nonstop
Oh yeah my roommate snoring
C’mon bud, I say more times
Then I flip the bottle
He doesn’t listen.
I look over at the clock, It’s 12:45
Fuck when can I sleep I repeat in my mind
My mind wonders
To a gorgeous woman named Hillary
She stays on my mind until I fall asleep
