a summer's night

i woke up on the sofa around 4:20 am. i was fully clothed, covered in dried sweat and disorientated. the DVD has run its course and was patiently awaiting further instruction. i thought about just closing my eyes and rolling over. the front door was wide open. the screen security door unlocked. any maniac could have waltzed right on in and slit my throat. of course the chances of that were fairly slim. but still, after years of reading true crime books, the thought was there. i really didn't want to get up. but i had to. it seemed like every light in the house was on. the kitchen window was still open, letting in a gentle breeze. i sighed and dragged my arse off the sofa. i stopped the DVD, turned off the television and shut the front door. i walked through the house towards my bedroom, turning off the lights as i went. the fan in my eldest child's room hummed like a jet awaiting takeoff. i left it alone.
i rolled into my bed wearing only a tshirt and fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    Can't you see that there's light in the dark.
    Nothing's quite what it seems in the city of dreams.
