When they are stacked too high,
And balance is lost in fixating.
Plans are altered after the crumble,
And sometimes the game is put away
Altogether- or Scrabble is preferred.
Besides, these diversions only further stimulate
The overactive mind aiding in sleeplessness,
The insomniac's nightmare.
Childhood dreams, ice cream trucks
And bubble gum puffs made life simpler.
(One never plans on these self-defeating episodes).
Suddenly-whisked into adulthood where
Life is a perpetual soap box and
Little boxes are no longer made of “ticky-tack.”
Loosing sleep is never planned,
However, frequent shortages occur
With information overload.
Heck, it's 4:00 am
And before another game ensues,
I will turn out the light.
