Future Plans
Get out of work while sun is still up.
Put rocking chair on balcony.
Sleep outdoors.
Lookin forward to the little things in life.

Between Awake And Asleep.
There is a strange infinity in the darkness behind my eyelids as the clock breaches the time between awake and asleep.
I find myself floating on a sinking ship, neither drowning nor breathing, but in an unbounded state of calm.
Images flash through the black. They seem similar to personal experiences, except I would have remembered these. They’re there and gone, only to stay a few moments longer when I don’t try to focus on anything in particular.
The tingle in my arms transitions into a numbing hum until they become weightless underneath my chest as my face sinks into dream sands that were once feather pillows.
Three leg twitches after my eyelids sew shut and I cannot tell the difference between reality and the world where I can fly and breathe underwater, yet in both worlds I am consciously mortal. Strange.
There is life inside the unconscious mind. I can never predict what happens, nor remember it in its entirety upon waking, yet I can always count on it ending too soon and without explanation.
Morning’s amnesia kicks in as I am rustled awake, and although I’ll never understand what I see while my eyes are closed, I will forever yearn for the next time.
