Should I be asked to explain myself

You can't shout here Here, being in my sleep In my bedroom In my head I agree, of course Though I am intrigued What was I shouting? I have only the memory of line one And I'll ask, he doesn't tend to remember Which is a blessing, as I am ashamed Maybe there is my answer ~

This poem of a confusion of who, or is it whom, is very interesting in a screaming sense. Thank you.

Thanks Hilda - I quite like writing without definition of purpose at times - just the sense of a question, unanswered

Ooh I'm usually just leaping out of bed and cowering - maybe I'm a delight after all :) thanks for sharing x

Thanks Deb - it's a night terror thing. I was scared but neither he nor I recall what I said. The whole concept of them is intriguing and interesting - when I do recall it's usually the seconds before I'm about to die dramatically.
