my afternoon slinks away from me
in half hour catnaps
and various arched positions of my spine
I'm always planning
to get up a half-hour later
but i just can't bring myself to
Sleep is so comforting
like a member of my family
it doesn't expect anything of me
just loves me the way i am
forever and always
I can retreat to childhood dreams
when life becomes too much
but sleep is also a highway robber
who promises fulfillment
and pays me in procrastination
and self-doubt
