To wake to roll, Over. To pretend softly Shut it out, try. Close it out, try Not to think. Close the eyes, Pull tight the pillow, Block the light, shut out the light, Not awake, No light, A slivered moon, Pull it down, block the light Pull it tight Must breathe, Block the light. Relax, don’t think, Asleep. To wake. No light, But thought has started trickling, dripping. Sounds peeking. To think, no, not again Not worthy Get going! So much too much todotodo to do breath. sigh.
Not worthy. Can’t do didn’t do Forgot to do why'd I do that?
