Nap Nap All The Live Long Day
Days Walking - 79
I’m not feeling very well today.
Fatigued. Weak. When I got up this morning after a good ten hours of sleep and forced myself through breakfast, all I could think about was how good a six hour nap would feel.
Maybe I’m coming down with something, but I sincerely hope not. Thank Vishnu today is a rest day.
I’m going to cop out, use a Free Spin, and provide for you here a poem I wrote the other night. It’s a self-pity parade typical of thirteen year olds toying with laudanum.

Patches of Green………………………...................By Litany Webb
I turn the music up too loud
To drown out my thoughts,
I can’t control where they take me
Days ago and far away
Is just too far to go
Or return from
Now knowing what I now know
I (think) I love you
Remains, impossible to ignore
Nor would I wish to
Even this thought - this small thing - hurts
Bittersweet and vague
The music loudest now,
Electronic beats drowning out BPM
DC electron flow disturbing my disturbances
Doubt-dodging self-blame synapses
It’s harder to hear my heart weeping
It’s a soft sound, but it carries.
Until the song ends
The iPod dies
And I have to remember
Litany Webb, signing off

Cool poem, Lit! I especially liked the consonance in "DC electron flow disturbing my disturbances / Doubt-dodging self-blame synapses"
