I Sleep Like Humans Want To Live

I sleep like
humans want to live
but they are puzzles
with too many pieces
crammed and misfitted

© Dennett ~ 4/14/24

I curl and stretch
flexing and expanding
while humans hunch
and slouch and
moan and groan
twist and turn

© Dennett ~ 4/14/24

Their pieces are too anxious
too filled with yesterdays
too fixated on tomorrows
we only have this mellow moment
one delicious delectable moment
sleeping or awake
feline or human

I was always a writer but lived in a bookkeeper’s body before I found Medium and broke free — well, almost. Working to work less and write more.
