Can't Wake Up

Sleep found its way Between every rib and vertebrae, So I'll just keep on hiding with my eyes closed From the stampede of ideologies, Blue skies and all their energies, Everyone talking loudly, so expectant, And all the things I've broken and am breaking. Anyway, Shattered glass is prettier Sparkling in lamplight sprawled on the basement Floor Alone With me Just drifting. Midday is calling. I'm so sorry but I can't wake up.
