Oh sleep, where art thou?

June 4 2008

Occasionally, I face the daunting task of trying to trick my mind and body into feeling sleepy. I read, write, surf the net, dance, think, try not to think, clean…whatever I can think of that may tire my whole system only to hear the system send up a very vocal and articulate FUCK YOU!!!

It’s currently 2am on a “school night” and here I am hoping that if I go back to bed one more time, the sleep gods will meet me there. But, I’m also afraid that they have taken a trip to Antarctica or some such place with my rest secretly packed away in a dark corner of their carry-on luggage.

I want to find the hidden vial of sleep potion, I want to join the angels in sweet, peaceful slumber – to dream in innocence – to dream…but here I am bargaining with the universe for just a taste…another chance to bond with my pillows, to kiss the old day away in sweet R.E.M.

sleep well...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
