so tired
yet
the thought of sleep
is revolting

inspired
to be uninspired
by the world
around me

drained
deveined
of the things
that made me

human

the neighbor’s dog
barks
at the bird
that sings
of the setting sun

the motorcycle
idles
like a stampede
of horses
across
my fragile egg shell
skull

in order of wishes
that taunt my mind

she
is here

avocados
don’t spoil
for weeks

my headache
fades

that’s all i have
besides
feeling so sleepy
yet unwilling

to sleep
