Drifting Into Sleep
When everybody falls asleep before you at a sleepover
 Don’t you feel unbelievably lonely?
 Trying to occupy yourself because you’re confused on why sleep hasn’t invited you to its garden of story?
 Your friends’ souls floating somewhere in Africa
 Having the same dream 
 And you’re the only stationary light around
 To explain why the desk is a desk
 And your feet are your feet
 You wonder about evolution or what that bug looks like really up close…
 You drift into concentration 
 Wondering about world
 Your eyes are kind of doing that droopy thing
 But you shake your head
 No, no, no
 She is in the state of meditation
 Where a mind may rarely go
 …you only enter this realm
 when you’re the only conscious soul
 and all of a sudden, with one big
 great
 leap
 the desk is not a desk anymore
 and your right foot is missing a toe…
