insomnia is a peacock

in full tail, fenced in

by chicken wire

for every baby, everywhere

on this day, you are
joyously welcome into this world ~
may you be long-lived and glorious

differentiating between needs
and wants, both
daunting and necessary

last night in New York --
Chinese food
summer storm

Chaos

state of confusion or disorder
lack of intelligible pattern
nonlinear behavior
disorderly mass or jumble
system with sensitive dependence
a chasm or abyss
