Nightly, Pt. 2, or To Frederick Turner

Every day, they hand me twenty-four hours,
Then they–different they–come and take about twelve away,
and I write to get away from the rest of it.

I have no relevant role models or experience
For that way to live,
So I start every day as a sleep-deprived wreck,
Lose a fight with microsleep every time I'm at rest,
and try to make up for it by asking unclear questions
and interrupting whoever's nice enough to answer them.

TL;DR: I think I have something to say.
I know I couldn't tell you what it is. Yet.
