Passages

Around 3am I woke myself up with my yelling and then quickly scanned the couch for snakes. This hasn't happened for a while.

I've been spending allot of nights on the couch. When bedtime comes I suddenly seem short on time and long on things that have to be done immediately. I haven't been bothering with sleep meds either. Bed seems impossible so tricking myself into sleeping on the couch is my best bet. I try to lay down but my body shoots up as if it is tied to a string and I am just a passenger along for the ride.

Maybe I am.
