I shouldn't have taken that nap
So late in the cerulean afternoon.
Now I am unnaturally awake
In a time that is natural for sleep.

I think I will recap the day.
Placing every moment in its
Clearly-marked manila folder.

Love. next to
Spontaneity. across from
Minutia. beside
Facts. near
Hopes. on top of
Realistic truth.

They say that our dreams are the
Intangible filing system of the day's events.
Why wait until I am asleep?
I can give my unconscious brain a much-needed
Head start.

Then I wonder what my dreams would be
If I manually sorted before
I entered sleep.

I quickly close with a feaux conclusion

And reach for the key to
Lock my eyes.
