Two in the Morning

May 2008 Creative Writing

The momentary rush of excitement

splashes over me like

water on a thirsty fire.

 

I’m filled with flames of curiosity and

the need for social fulfillment.

 

It may be two in the morning,

and I do need to get up at six,

but if there was a delicious slice of

chocolate cake within arm’s reach,

wouldn’t you eat it?

 

Just a quick peek.

Any messages?

Any new wall posts?

Click. Click.

No? Okay, well, any new pictures?

No?

 

Facebook,

you’re a slimy leech.

Hand me the salt.
