Dulling Sleep

What's so great about sleep?

 With sleep comes the dulling

After so long awake

Reprogramming in the dark

Wires frayed

Melted

Crossed

Sparking

Smoke clouded brain

Like a 1950’s living room

Or bar

No one’s there for health

They’re all there to laugh a bit

As they practice dying

A slow roll out an engineless plane

Hurtling toward earth

In nanoseconds of eighty years

So why sleep?

Danae, you are the Savant of the Northwest. You have diagnosed my malfunctioning circuitry well, especially my sleep deprivation and that living room/bar scene. Whence comes such wisdom? And what can be done about it? I guess the Big Crash will tell the rest of the tale.

There are so many ideas about sleep and avoidance. Many people sleep but a few hours a night. For me, it's the proverbial 8. But there are times, not unlike your shared experience here, that arrest unique ideas about the nature of sleep, leaving me often with the same last thought: So why Sleep? Loved the succinct way you weaved your own unique interpretation.
