Sleep Deprivation


Sleep deprivation,
It’s a wonderful thing
Affecting your body
And the way you see things

With your immune system down
Wearing a permanent frown
Listening to the sounds of your bowels
As you wander aloud

Drunk without drinking
Intoxicating the mind
Pouring Cornflakes for coffee
And then laughing, you're fine

When you're that weak in muscle
And weary in bone
When your mind feels like leaving,
Or has left you exposed

Dig deep inside
And you will soon realise
That sleep will just keep you
From the truth that it hides

Sleep and its deprivation,
An enlightened wet dream
Such, are the joys of living
A life without sleep

  • Sleep deprivation becomes a high all its own. Incredibly witty I get when Ive been up for a bit.

    I once had a lamppost appear on my windowsill, lit, open, natural.

    Next to it was a gentleman dressed in full late 1800's British tux, top hat, cane, tails, shine.

    Leaning on his cane, against the french quarter-esque lamp, he watched the moon through the glass.

    I sat up in bed and he turned to take notice of me.

    We stared at each other a bit, unblinking, finding dawning comprehension, although I believe the situation was entirely in his hands.

    So he smiles at me, waves, bows deeply in seeming respect, tails in the air, and disappears.

    The lamppost remained for a little while longer before it too decided the night was over.

    I'll never forget it.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.

    Would I be way off in suggesting that particular concept has never been explored before in a creative work?
