Thanks, Patrick. My nights aren't always mares but sometimes I am
getting lost, or going round in circles.

�
THE GODDAM NIGHT
�
Giddy night is more than a container
The sources of stupidity lie within
Watch how your imagination copies
your imagination
�
Yes, it�s the night, the goddam night
full of kitschy previews hard-wired
to soap plots and merciless roundabouts
of a house, a saucerful of spectres
an unmemorable mess of misalignments
of thought and action, though it seems plausible
�
It�s merely vertiginous, yes, even a dream
of falling, but at least for once before you fall
you realise you don�t care about the toss
�
Waking life might be life, life might be what it is
you fall over it enough
knock the cup from the table
