“The Night Watchman by Stewart Stafford

Does the night watchman watch the night or does the night watch him?
Is there anything in the darkness or is his eyesight growing dim?
Does a beast growl in the shadows or is his stomach requesting food?
Is his pay adequate compensation or is his boss just being rude?
As he prays for the sunrise, does anyone hear his prayers?
When he clocks out for breakfast, is anyone standing there?
Does he creep home to his bed to count the hours down?
Until he sits staring at the darkness once more with a quizzical and resigned frown?
