Up again late this night

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Free verse
Why should the thing
Have me in knots.
Losing valuable sleep
Needed for tomorrow’s event.
Have I not been here before?
And how well it went.
How problems became windows.
Waste of adrenaline Lad.
Making your God look bad.
He has the thing in tow.
You know.
