when time drags.

and if for some
forsaken reason
someone decides
to listen,
it’s just

there’s so much
time invested
into the process
that one begins
to just get bored.
all ready
for sleep, for rest-
just make the voices
go away so
i can start to work,
and just
go to sleep,
go to sleep,
go to sleep,
away,
to dream.
