i didn't sleep a wink last night
i cannot tell you why
at the edge of slumber there i lay
feeling neither low nor high
i didn't sleep a wink last night
the morning saw me arise all dazed
just another day at the office i thought
and carried on groggy as fuck but unfazed
i didn't sleep a wink last night
inside i'm a jittery fucking mess
the coffee's just not strong enough
and my motivation even less
i didn't sleep a wink last night
i tossed and turned all fucking night
wide eyed of frizzy haired and trembling
grudgingly welcoming the light
i didn't sleep a wink last night
what a truly harrowing ordeal
every time i thought i was asleep
i was there for ever and here for real

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

I know that feeling pretty well, my friend! I often get too much or too little sleep, so I'm not on very good terms with it.
