Are you a morning or evening person?

1. my answer would be yes.

back in the day i could stay out all night and work all day. those days are gone. I do still get occasional insomnia and stay up until it's light outside, but usually i'm up in the morning.

don't have the energy I used to that's for certain.
You reminded me of this poem I wrote in the 90's. Historically, since childhood, I've been a night owl.


Night

I want to prowl the night like an energetic ghost -
Want to plumb the facts out of the past
to hug the night like
Night hugs the desert
As if it could last -
When the day holds sway
I want to know
I did not waste
in the hours before

I'll be
the Night blooming jasmine
I'll be
the Cactus at dawn

In the heat I'll be
Sand or sweat
salt or sunburn
not gone.not lost.
not diminished
day does not take a history
light does not sour me, nor erase
energy the night
insists upon lending me.
