It’s 12:37 AM and I should be asleep;
Instead I’m at my computer working.
It’s 12:54 AM and I should be working;
Instead my mind keeps drifting off to
Other things I could be doing with my time
It’s 1:03 AM and I should be doing something;
Instead I’m watching clips on YouTube
Of skits featuring the Interrupter
From Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
It’s 5:42 AM and I should really stop watching Conan clips;
Instead I have become psychologically dependent
On blurry snippets transferred digitally from VHS tapes.
It’s 9:16 AM and I should be at work;
Instead I’m asleep.


Only ‘The Simpsons’ would work that sort of magic on me.
Isn’t there some studying you should be doing?
