Independence or Not?

 a poem in Dorsimbra format

Independence or Not?

Next month my driver’s license will expire

it better get renewed, or I am toast

I had my vision checked, new lenses made

I’m ready as I’ll ever be …. almost

 

Sleep is not my friend at night,

Nature calls, I don’t ignore her

but I don’t go back to sleep. I read

for hours, which is stupid

 

I’m very independent; like to drive

Don’t want to have to beg rides from my friends

Or have to call on Uber to go out,

 ask USAA, driving record, clean!

I don't know if it's like this in TX, too, but here in NYS, you can have your eye doctor submit your eye test results to DMV digitally, and then you can just send in your payment and the renewal form by mail, and VOILA! Automatic pass and acceptance. Check into it. If you're up all night reading, though, I have to imagine your vision's good enough to drive!! Keep us posted. xoxox

wow! I will certainly check! Thanks for the info. I just need to not read at night -get more sleep.

I'm a four-hour-a-night sleeper, so I'm not in any position to nag you about that!! xoxo

Don't know how you stay so energetic!

Aha- I think I have found my fellow insomniacs here! I thought your first four lines in particular flowed beautifully here.

thanks (yawn) :)
