(I suffer from a horizontal mind--
too indulgent of my prone-active imagination:)

Grown wide awake as I lie down
I only nod out when I rise--
erect barely to stumble on
towards my unseen horizon

I only worry on my back
I only wander on my feet
I breathe easy on my knees
and sink back on my butt
to grit my teeth & weep

I only wander on my back
I only sink back on my feet
I worry hard on my butt
and breathe deep on my knees
to grit my teeth & weep
