Day 43: “Couch Time”


Sleeping on the couch

Is a simple pleasure


Lay your head back

Put up your feet


Listen to the tv as you fade

Fade

Fade


Not quite asleep

Definitely not awake


A dreamtime escape


It’s comfy

Yet uncomfortable


You’ve got everything you need


Once you’re gone

In dream land


You awake with a start

And realize you haven’t even been asleep 20 minutes


Your eyes start to close again

Just 20 more minutes

And then you’ll actually head to bed



It’s morning
