late night

late night fuels
candle has already burned
i ate the wax

imagination runs rampant
spaghetti for brains
no meatballs for vegans

the clock is crazier now
someone is talking
but making no sounds

i hear the click click of the keys
the typewriter has evolved
no more paper

why won't you stop whispering
the candle is eating the wick
the day is almost over
before it has begun

and now it has consumed us
this madness of the early hours
the late night fuels the insanity
and yet it will all end with first light of morning.
