No Can Sleep


"The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters" from "Los Caprichos"
by Francisco de Goya

Well, here we find ourselves again
Vertical instead of the recommended
Horizontal placement of the body,
So everything can rest and rebuild.

During the Circadian dark night...

That's what you have to deal with
When you evolve in a single moon
Planetary orbit...

It's only 1:30 am... Late for me these days
Though it used to be early with the far-off Dawn,
Which by the way, does come sooner
When up for hours or awakened early.

It can take forever on the flip side...
Trying to GET to sleep.
I find myself in that cage now.

Cough cough horizontal cough cough
Swine crew.


"Candle in a Cage" by John Fitzgerald

Thanks, one and all - this post, such as it is
Will finally put me to sleep, I should think,
Judging by the angle of my head to my neck.
