Late at night
when I should be asleep
my mind is instead abuzz with algorithms
and code
and dithering bits
and dreams of art
(the creation of)
and community
(the exchanges therein)
wanting nothing more than to work
until sunlight interrupts
or (failing that) to sleep peacefully
drifting off in an instant.

Instead I lay here
(awake)
my mind abuzz
with algorithms.
