A Long Sleep Goodnight

Much to do people to see thoughts to proceed wrapped warm, for the flipside is the cold side stop, to decide is to act Run rabbit run rabbit don’t stay still a pair pull themselves together as the sun’s next show is not for another 8 and a half hours Thoughtful mob that lot gnawing on a semi-conscious carcass becoming carcass number 2 Single divans as wrestling rings rebounding off ropes on to cold hard floors Hemispherical headaches split sleep in 2 closing eyes adjusting to the dark or a lack of light perhaps 7am time will toll and it will turn again An easy morning stroll silence is not a falling tree in a forest of no ears ponds and frogs and garden gates make noise even unless they’re told Anti-awake is not in favour of sleep quiet is enjoyable darkness gives you time not to think.
