Awakening From Pleasant Dreams

Awakening From Pleasant Dreams...

No matter scant details recalled upon 
arising from slumber, this even though 
submerged into deep unconscious - (as 
ifmine being plunged bajillion miles 
subterranean catacombs) thoroughly 
saturated with inaccessible facets of my 
person then Poof – like a magic dragon! 

Every last detail vanishes without a trace, 
whence each eyelid slowly opens (never 
jarred out sleep) - only my own Circadian 
clock determines when (no idea how) body
electric (temporary property of mortal 
christened Matthew Scott Harris) returns 
yours truly to state of consciousness, or 

thee closest approximation thereof, where
by sense and sense and sensibility minus 
pride and prejudice immediately severed, 
no longer linked tin (analogous to Internet 
Error Code 404 - page not found) finds me 
straining with might of Hercules - all in vain, 
yet lingering drowsiness (torpor still main

training strong toehold) dissipates ever so 
slowly, thus rendering ability impossible to 
cogitate - quite helpful when reading or write
ting, and when cerebral clarity becomes 
manifest...nary a whisper recollected, when 
mean drama exploded within pitted cranial 
fifty plus shades of gray matter parameters

suddenly vibrant rattletrap quiescence, a 
proxy armistice snatching at lightspeed any 
recollection rendering sleepyhead (non talking) 
befuddled, confused, dazed... numbskull pre
vented (even with proper clearance) access to
top secrete, potential mutinous, juicy fruit 
confidential data, which necessitates one 

bushy eyed and bright tailed primate to scratch 
his noggin with futility although well rested 
fitful without ways nor means to dredge up 
sunken treasures briefly uncovered during 
stretch of time hide nave hoar did blink, none
zee less..., an enjoyable shuteye state of being - 
allowing, enabling, and providing short lived 
respite bearing down as if trying to shrug off atlas!
