shallow sleep
It is 3:00 a.m. and I can't get to sleep any way at all. I've been banging at sleep's door for hours and I know that sleep is in there but I know also that it has a cruel spiteful spirit and is snickering behind the door at my frustration.
I've tried counting back from 100, I've tried imagining really hard that I'm dissolving into (super-sleepy) fog, I've tried not thinking at all and thinking about everything extremely rapidly, I've tried glasses of water and listening to the night sounds and reading about Indian logic and I've attempted more sleeping positions than there are positions in the kama sutra--but alas they all turned out to be waking positions, not sleeping positions, and I am tired and grouchy. I am listening to the quietest music ever, it sounds like diffident water vapor falling on shrubbery.
Nothing works. I am a perpetual motion machine!
