Have you ever woke up thinking
you’re in Twilight zone
I fell asleep, slept hard
Woke up at 6:30

I jumped up out of bed.
I thought it was 6:30 AM.
Half asleep in a daze,
I was amazed

How did that happen?
I sat down in the living room,
turned on the news like usual for 5 AM
I don’t sleep more than two hours at a time


While eating breakfast I noticed
something was wrong I felt fuzzy, sleepy
I had missed the night pills
Plus I was late for my next set of pills.

That’s unusual I should be
hurting more but I wasn’t.
Pill rules never double up
Take your pills adjust the time

Staring at my pills late!
In my case it was two hours early
the fog slowly lifted, I began to reason
something was not right

I thought it was odd
the dog laid there, not moving,
even when I jumped out of bed
He didn’t even raise his head

But something felt wrong
The house still felt hot
I check the weather every morning
Cool morning usually Low 60°

88° that temperature was too hot
I stepped outside. It was dark.
7 o’clock it should be cool
And the sun should be shining

Did I descend into chthonic region ‘s
It was dark and I was little frightened
of what I might find smell of smoke linger
The glow of fire in distant hills

That was my first clue
I finished my cereal fully awake
I flew over the cuckoo’s nest
I’m the fool on the hill

I came to my senses
I think I always knew
The clock on the wall told it all
Crazy time spent, back to bed I went


Inspired song

Dazed and confused

Chthonic
Relating to the underworld infernal weird, Eerie

I’ve had this déjà vu moment before, but within a few seconds I can determine what day it is what time it is. But this time it was Rick I was in an alternate world, and I kept saying something does not feel right, as if somebody was listening to me.. it wasn’t until finally looked at an atomic clock on the wall and I was stunned that I was stumped for over a half an hour. I’m losing my marbles.
