there is
a fine line
between
bone tired
and finished
walking along
that fracture
does things
to the simple mind
that years
of boarding
at a black ops site
could never hope
to replicate

a gallon of water
may mimic
the effect of drowning
but
the third day
with no sleep
is a sliver
of rare
insanity
that can break
the most
hardened soul
the most
ardent heart
the most
callused disposition
