MIDNIGHT FLICKERS

After the kids have gone to bed
And a more tired partner has called it a day
After the bills are paid.

That need to stay up longer
(though my brain says go to sleep) -
And read a book
Or watch YouTube
Or browse the news.

A bit of just-me time.

What's your purpose, pesky guilt
You appear in the morning
Yet vanish when it's night?
