Time To Sleep

late one night I walked down the lit up sidewalk and heard cries laughter music babies crying people burbling in the second floor motel and the noise went on as I got closer to the city limits and the night fell upon me with neon lights and club music as people lined up to check in to the rave. I danced to the music as I skipped down the streets of limitations and threaded the needle through the pocket in my holy jeans. I screamed all of a sudden when I saw a rat carried by an ally cat in the dance of the fragile sector in all that was left behind. silence was all heard and the jumbling of the sounds cried out in them motion of creation and evolution in the dreaming of going to sleep and little boy peep was never a sleep I was the creep in the measurement of sleep. Tears of noise creep ed down my cheeks.
