I can see the dawn.
This is a rare occasion,
for I am not frequently up this early
and when I stay up this late
I rarely do so where there are windows
to watch the sun rise.

But here I am,
resetting a sleep schedule and catching up
on poems
and reading
and composing CDs for friends-
I did a lot of late night MP3 purchasing.

I'm also smiling,
because I have plans to see people I care about,
and I got to hear their voices.

I wonder sometimes,
why the world is so large
and we have to be separated so greatly.
