whispering


this so i won't be found out...
careful and quick
so they won't hear more tap-tap
in the office mess room...
i have to go to bed
b/c i don't get enough rest...
they worry for me
even though i fight it like a 5-year-old...
i do not WANT to sleep...
i do not WANT to miss
the party...
but i must.
i can't go on
my shoestring nerve
wanging and thwanging...
and tomorrow it begins again...
rest rest rest...
a missing mantra
when does it come...

in the head i know that the body needs rest. but work full time. grad school. assistant teaching. it's the schedules. it's the need to do so much in a life that feels so short.

chark, a glass of wine would do me good.

You are fucking brilliant. You know?

That little voice that goes creep, creep...convincing you that the world in the depths of night is far too interesting to close your eyes to--not even for a six-hour repose.
