Inspired by
Neil Diamond's "Be" during a
midnight compile. Should be sung as a ballad.
Staring
Into a darkened sky
Watching stars
Fly by
Clock
Ticks away
I'm losing it
To the grey
As sleep
I drift into
My eyes catch
Flashes of blue
Smack
What was that?
Nose is lifted
From amongst the keys
Smiling
At me, I'm sure
Is a face a jumble of ASCII
Could be mistaken for
Staring
Into a darkened sky
Eyes readjust
I know it's a lie
(whispered) Good night
