RIC FLAIR NOSE DIVE

 

There’s always the prospect of writing little poems at night.  I’ll suddenly awake needing to run to the bathroom.  It’s not just a failing of the bladder.  I have a little notepad and I use it to jot down little three line poems—don’t want to offend the haiku or senryu purists among us.  Sometimes, we even get 4 or 5 or 6 lines of verse committed to paper.  Those words both flow and clog at the same time as I am barely out of a dreamlike state.  Once in awhile, it can actually be something good.  Then I stumble back into the bedroom and do an old fashioned Ric Flair nosedive onto the bed.  My work done, it’s best to lapse back into gentle sleep.
