With sleep once more before me My mind sought to implore me In my wall the smallest crack Why care were I to notice An etched line of thinnest black A flaw of the remotest It hadn't been there yesterday At least I think so anyway I'm off at last to face my dreams Of riddles, lies and brittle schemes When morning pulls me from my bed I'll put aside the evening's dread That fissure in my bedroom wall I may have conjured after all
