I want to go to sleep but I feel too alert like my brain is full of clustered thoughts all wanting to be heard. My body starts itching. My eyes grow weary but it doesn't matter because my brain is still alert. I could try to lay down but it would be a waste of time. I will just writhe with my eyes closed, the lights off, the sounds from outside my room drilling into my brain as it goes over the events of the day. The doubts. The ideas. The regrets of my past - the future regrets I'm sure to make. I would drink tea, but it makes me feel ill before bed. I think it's the milk. I think it's the diluted caffeine. Today I felt sick.

There once was a Lizard from Paris named Hugo. One day Hugo decided that he would make the grandest painting of the duchess of Squirmingtire, which was a provincial estate only 2 miles from Hugo's lofty studio.

Dark in the sky Fireflies light Wings upon high Into the night Stars're close Touched and died Fire is froze'd Upon the tide Get thee wings O' shining backs Plucked pain sting It's heart gone black Rain and ash All that remains My heart a gash How it pains

Tea sits untouched. The murky surface marred by the separation of fluids. Thin veils of milk coalesce with the water and tan beverage. Do I desire cold tea? Does anyone? The cup is cold to the touch as I lift it to my lips, sipping the tart flavor that was once rich. Bitterly I lower the cup to the bench beside me. Better to pour it out, I think to myself. Like all of life's consequences, you leave something too long and it will go sour. Decisions that can't be made in the heat of the moment. You allow your mind to cool, so that you may analyze the situation coolly. Better to act on impulse at times. Take the plunge while the water is still h
