Descent Into a Dream

O sleep! How sweet thy lips' first caress! O slumber! How warm thy embrace! Eyelids flutter and finally lower The veil is raised and I see I see Water races away down hill down rocks and trees down mountain Butterfly pirate pursues threatens taunts chases tears Brilliant shadows converse go or stay left or right jump or fight Standing on the verge of indecision Time to choose Time to BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP Restless rest arrested Shall I? I choose five more minutes
