Wednesday Night Interlude

by James Guitierrez
Another lonesome night
Darkness outside my windows
The contrast with white walls is frightening.
Yin and yang
A baby is being born
At the same time a man is murdered.
Maybe these walls are driving me insane
Or maybe like Ernest Hemingway
“It’s probably only insomnia
Many must have it.”
