Z.

Sleep is a temptress,
Tiredness being it's seduction,
Yawning and drowsy eyes being it's foreplay.
Lulled into a state oblivion.
Submission.
Darkness and release.
Peace.

Two's and me.

It's a night of two's.
I sit alone.
Observing.

All engrossed in personal conversation.
I drag on my cigarette.
Listening.

All oblivious to the others.
I'm aware.
Thinking.
