Experience and Paranoia
Lately when I should be sleeping
I'm up and writing poems
Esoteric thoughts bleed through
While the owls are cruising main street
I'm not saying much these days
Letting the pundits spew their vitriol
Standing on the sidelines has merits
You don't get hit with a pie meant for them
Living in NYC
Is like having a target on my chest
Terrorists want this prize
I just want a night's sleep, dream free

Saul Bellow —said, you never have to change anything you wake up in the middle of the night to write. I'd agree with him in this case.
A fine piece of poetry.
The title intrigues me, the wiser I get the more paranoid I become-but, calling that paranoia is like calling a fear of someone stabbing you, while they stab you, a phobia. Nice work

I read a lot of Saul Bellow back in the day. That man exuded wisdom ...
As always, I appreciate your comments. ....
Thanks Miki

I truly felt your essence in this one, Poet.
And understand completely where you're
coming from. Safety to all prizes eyed
by those who would destroy them.
