5:00 A.M. and the Rain

A. J. Huffman

break my consciousness, my concentration
on the dream-drama-mind-movie currently
wreaking havoc in my head. Thankful
for the thirty-plus-second commercial
break, I try to sell myself
to the makeshift sheep that never quite learned
to count. They refuse my offer, return
to stutter-step staccato. Their dancing rewinds
my eyelids, forces me to begin, again at the end
of another night. I try to shut
out their laughter. It tends to linger

into morning’s light.
