5:30 AM
SO EARLY
THE AIR FEELS LIKE SEPTEMBER
NOT JULY
I TRY TO GET TO SLEEP
I SHEEP
2 SHEEP
3 SHEEP
IS THAT THE SUN?!
SHINING THROUGH THE CURTAINS
TWINKLING
SHIMMERING
LOOKING LIKE MERELY A REFLECTION
"BUT IT ISN'T,"
"IT'S REAL"
AND IT'S KEEPING ME AWAKE
THE RAYS BOUNCE OFF MY BASS DRUM
BLINDING
BEAUTIFUL
BUT EVERYTHING'S UGLIER IN THE MORNING
I TWIST AND TURN
IMAGINING WINTER
WHEN IT'S DARK
WHEN IT's GREY
WHEN IT's GLOOMY
LET ME SLEEP
LET ME SLEEP
LET ME SLEEP
zzzzz...
THESUN
ZIGZAGGING THROUGH MY DREAMS
DEEP SLUMBER
I SEE A GREEN TINTED LIGHT
STIRRING
IWAKEUR
REFRESHED
GLANCE AT THE CLOCK
EXPECTING 11:00
