Billy Collins: Insomnia
Once again I’m back
To this forever lasting night.
Only left with pictures and stories
all locked away in my mind.
As I stare at the 12:32 of my room
I begin to wonder.
How many miles it would take
to go around the world.
At 2:45 I set off
one mile at a time
Every mile there is something new to see.
3:16 I see a horse jumping over a fence.
4:28 A little kid is jumping rope.
5:41 the empire state building.
6:52 some lake where dragon flies hover.
7:39 a scene that doesn’t make any sense.
8:00 the most annoying sound in the world.
The morning alarm and all of a sudden
I had just traveled across the whole world
and was back in my own room.
