Impending Sense of Nap

Brain is crackling, crisp, ivory bone dry Gremlin stuffing cotton behind my eyes Head begins to swell with torpidity Vivid mind fading to transparency Internal membranes breaking down Thoughts run a deep molasses brown 'Tween thought and motion, expanding rift Act of sheer will, the body to lift Limbs grow wooden, ready to fall Seek out the blessed horizontal Cover exhaustion with soft frayed quilt Self-indulgent moment’s guilt Serotonin sleep dump almost disappointing Blessed moment of irresponsibility ending Leaden lids descend on eyes Fading into a sky blue paradise 3/25/16
