Scylla and Charybdis

Insomnia_____blue-gray
nimbus of dawn
__________filter in.
Coffee stench_____anchorman's
voice down the hall.
Do not stall
_____for more time.
What the gods allot
_____is all.
Idiotic_____to want more.
_____What?  Would you share it
with those who don't want you there?
_____Clockwork and springs
tick-tock in the wall.
_____A rush of blood from the head.
__________The ebbing stare.
A glimpse, dutch-angled
_____of a departing Florsheim heel.
It follows a gloating smirk
_____and makes a hellish deal.
