BEFORE SLEEP

stretched out
with the late sun just sunk
and the birds still busy
telling
each
other about it

limbs electric-alive 
with
unreasonable exertion and draining adrenalin
sleep
is a long way away right now

cat between the curtains
is silent
looking out into the blue dark
and 
it crosses my wandering mind that -

i MUST be the Bestest
i MUST be the Mostest
and
i MUST ride the Highest Mountains in Top Gear

i ask my mind who the hell it thinks it is
but
let it play and tease me
anyway
