Late Sleeper

November 10, 2008

by Howie Good

You who stayed up too late last night
get up get up everyone else is already up

the world is an incomplete sentence
without you I know the leaves are yellowing

and it’s cold but get up please get up
and look out the back window there are

emergencies clouds acts of contrition
light-up letters as big as small children

sometimes even bigger
