A Meal To Sleep Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Good-feeling thoughts mean I must find
a reason to be happy while warm air blows
through the new building's air-con, at least
it is a new building for us & the heat assails
us in a new way, and as I could not sleep
last night, I watched Weird Animals while
lying on the floor as the cat had the couch

Thus I dozed a few minutes every hour, and
I have a spray-can with water to keep cool
while walking to the pick-up point in the heat
and I printed 2 translations; so some things
are going right, let me be thankful for going
home within an hour and planning a meal
that would allow me to sleep…
