With
no desire
but to stare
into space
in my dreams
I go
relentlessly over
details
that need to be
taken care of
and are
I fear
in danger
of being forgotten
or overlooked
though
so many able people
are involved
the concern seems
unrealistic
which is why
on rising
despite
tossing and turning
for
too much of the time
I
should have been
sound asleep
I sit
eyes wide
doing nothing
neither waiting
nor plotting
only
somewhat disconcertingly
at peace with
not being busy.
