To Nap Or Not To Nap
to nap or not to nap
whether it is glorious solitude
existing in a dream
or awake in the daymare
that age has bestowed this day
a lonely orphan from an age of bliss
wandering now bruised and battered
amidst the delusional chaos
of mirror neurons whose real gift
is not a gift at all
but a glad hand minus logic
where reason has no season
lying lifeless beneath the sheet
the silent clarion call
echoes the morgues closing door
the crowd sent in to help
only produce yet more
to nap or not to nap
that is the question
the respite is indeed
the call
to an age of bliss
where cookies and milk
had no breath of daymare
Oregon 6/23
