the sound of dripping water

The sound of dripping water
Outside
is driving me insane.

Would God then spare me no respite?
Even in the late hours of the night,
must He so interrupt my thoughts in spite?

But alas
the dawn draws nearer
And I am not one step closer to being saner
Than before.

And
as the night comes to a close, I wonder
why in daytime
the sound of dripping water
Outside
never drove me insane.

---- 17th September 2003.
