the hour of creative dullness

i spend every hour of my day
creatively dull.

if ,god forbid, anyone decides to write another self help book,
it should be on creative dullness.

they are most welcome to contact me. 

saving the last ciggerate

it's difficult sometimes to save the last ciggerate,
especially if you are certain it's your last.

sound of dogs howling around midnight

the sound of dogs howling at midnight, sometimes put you to sleep.
at other times, help you stay awake,
quite a commonplace observation.

makes one think, with all that noise
that putts off some, relaxes others
yet scares quite a few.

for countless midnights, the sound
has been my companion, my lighthouse
and my nightmare.
