gimme back my hour of sleep!
i don't sleep all that
good
anyway
thunderstorms
even the mere threat
of severe storms
is guaranteed
to make for a
restless night
praying
anticipating
gotta watch the radar
hoping against hope
it don't turn
ugly
here
pain in my body
uncle arthur has
moved in
i want him
to move OUT
he doesn't just
stay in one
spot
he travels
oh the back looks nice
so do the feet
methinks i'll stay here
a while
get too cold
or too hot
nightmares
sometimes real
woolly ones
real screamers
that'll ruin the rest
of the night
my twin sister
snooooring
like a freakin'
freight train
*is that a tornado*
nope only my twink
turn over
she does
ahhhhh peace and quiet
for 'bout two minutes
then she's at it
again
any position
twink can snore
weather radio
"alert standby"
feature
set the thing on
before bed
go to sleep and
if bad storms
develop or enter
your area
*earsplitting screech*
that sucker's LOUD
loud enough to wake
me and twink
but also both sets
of neighbors
possibly the dead
whom i'll be joinin'
if that thing
gives me a
sudden heart attack
HA
gotta stay prepared
only bad thing
once in a while
signals get crossed
it tones an alert
for johnson county
OKLAHOMA
i live in johnson county
TEXAS
worries about bills
worries about family
worries about friends
the news
images of terror
played and replayed
over and over
and over and over
and over again
will i ever sleep again
then
they stole an hour
of sleep from me
daylight savings time
and i want it back
NOW
