two (or is it three...?) weeks in to the overnight shift and never have i wanted    to wash myself in the golden rays of that nearest                     star our sun more than i do now as the ineradicable    cloak of night stretches itself over these my newly waking hours.  this night i feel massive but diffuse, like the ghost of a    glacier lingering amongst the scablands;  nebulous and immense,    like a short-circuited god-machine cannibalizing itself in a forgotten corner of the universe.    the sleep is broken, the mind needs rest.  the mind needs    rest.
