Sounds swim constantly Through the aches behind my unopened eyes. The latest slumber trek is at an end. The pace of my brain Akin to a shortsighted grasshopper: No focus, Leaping all over the pace. My inert body Resolutely immoveable. Just 5 more minutes.

Totally terrified
Putting my foot firmly on the pedal We come to an abrupt, But expected Halt. Wanting to be bored But suffering with frustration. The disco tail lights offer a way out That is not taken. What hope do we have? Like sitting on a rock Its not that bad But it could always be better. Steering slowly east The shadows move Faster than the grass growing. Need to check the paint. Familiar settings Allow for the tasting of an expected dinner. Not mundane Not after this journey.

"Get in there!" Can't say it loud enough "Awoooo!" Feeling awesome Unbridled grins Yelling with vigour Hi fives Energising others Since when did we stop skipping?

Celebrations
Walls close Echoes burning Writing unpleasant Light flickering Shadows jumping Locks secure Footsteps distant Invitations lurid Seat flipped Room empty Time still Feeling calm

Emptying Stillness
Dad! I need you, Dad. Dad! Where are you? What is this? What's that smell? Where do the ants go? Can you tell? Do snails have brains? Can I feel their slime? Where do bubbles come from? Is there time? Will I always grow? Can I fly? What can't I remember? I do try! Dad! Where are you, Dad? Dad! I need you!
