Random midnight thoughts
are hardly random
since they are well thought of

if we admit to it that is
and don't hide behind
some dwelming hallucinogen

for random midnight thoughts
keep us wide awake
and fiercely aware

they come more easily
than at every other moment
of my hard fought days

without a destiny to fulfill
they linger
and mockingly tickle
my not yet broken nerves

they never break
they keep my eyes from closing
and even then

they firmly hold their ground
and stay piercingly sharp
as needles under my fingernails

Random midnight thoughts
are never random
just as random dreams
are never random

    They certainly aren't random when you collect them all together for midnight ponderings, no sir! :)
