The Sandman's Phonebook

Come to rake books,
if you do get two nights
or two days worth of sleep
each week
you are
golden.

However the statistics are compiled.

Fear not.  Fatigue is a
t-shirt and a slogan.
A lost chorus line of teeth
is progress.

Could be a t-shirt too.

No matter how the hours
are stolen away from the ember licked door,
they are currency and with them
on our eyelids
walk & growl,
motor shakes
to keep time.
