Asleep Is the Opposite Of? _ new poetry October 2025

Asleep Is the Opposite Of?


There goes 

     another rubber tree plant

Says a man like an ant 


25 years? Is that 

                    how long?

I was in a marching 

         band to nowhere.


Ants meet Bojangles 

Mr. 1940's big band 

guitar, drums, bass 


Dance. Dance. Dance.


Sleep well marching Sunday 

Through next & next Sunday 


While the real one-ness 

Stays and prays 40 days 

And 40 nights without fright 

The opposite of sleep

Good wishes,
John
