He sits alone
In a pure white coat
Surrounded by monitors
Keeping things afloat
Camera nine isn’t working
Something must be wrong
He phones the man in charge
To ask what’s going on
“Just a technical fault”
Comes back the mans reply
“Then sort it,” shouts the operator
He shakes his head and sighs
Everything is functioning
Up, down, round and around
Clicking, tapping as it moves
All a familiar sound
Signals being sent
For you to move your head
Next you have a yawn
Something tells you it’s time for bed
The operator can close down now
Puts the monitor on automatic
He chooses a dream for you
Tonight – nothing too dramatic
He leans back in his chair
Checking things are okay
He’s now retiring for the night
It’s been such a busy day

I have been writing poetry for many years and regularly have it published in print. My poetry is published by Forward Press and in many other publications. So I'm now putting my poetry online.
