  • 03:44 trying to go to sleep… #
  • 03:44 yup, still awake… #
  • 03:45 ok, now i’m asleep #
  • 04:01 I lied. I do that sometimes, especially about sleep and its presence or absence. #

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the middle of the darkest night ever,
I am trying to decide:

if you are asleep and you tell yourself
you are not, or if you are awake and say
you are asleep, and you believe either or both are true —

is there any truth that is worth its salt?
If you are not
sure of anything anymore,
is it worth trying
to be sure?

I know one thing only:
I will only fully open my eyes
to a solid answer.
