insomnia

starts with a dream, building pressure, speed, strangeness, peaks like a bubble bursting and I wake up. 30 minutes figuring out what the dream was..one song playing over and over and over, pictures swirling like confetti of images round my brain like McIrney's peruvian footsoldiers stomping round and round. then the snoring next to me kicks in and 30 minutes trying to shove earplugs in tighter, turning away, poking him finally a break in the snores and quick now try to sleep and the cat takes a crap in the next room and I can't block out the stink so head under the covers, crick in my neck turns into pain down my arm now it's 30 minutes later and I wander upstairs to sleep on the couch but now it's 30 minutes later and I have to get up in a few 30 minuteses and I give up and look at the pictures on my phone. so I turn off the alarm that never had a chance to ring and go see if anyone is on skype...or facebook..and fall into my blog. so now you know.
