Awake!!

2:45 a.m.

Soft twitters hint

“It’s too early.”

2:50 a.m.

Jet sleeps in a curl,

purring softly.

2:55 a.m.

Shuttered eyes

merely a foil.

3:00 a.m.

Lamp switched on.

Feet hit the floor.

~~~

6:45 p.m.

Eyelids droop, head nods.

It’s been a long day.

“No small art is it to sleep: it is necessary for 

that purpose to keep awake all day.,”

Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
