entreaties > i do not sleep much anymore unremittingly it is naps and snacks pen in hand, inscribing words at 5 am i have prayed for relief there is no answer conversing with God if thought exceeds the velocity of light would he hear a single muted plea it seems life is a continually moving flash an inside-outside ache this leaves no thought on how to spend the days its Easter holidays and the only man with the solution died carrying his fated cross i surmise i will have to continue carrying my own > somewhere between toast and coffee the aftertaste lingers, like prayers waiting for God
