when you're tired and need to sleep, you go to sleep. it is dangerous to stay awake if your eyes are closing-- at the wheel, at work, in public. but what if the exhaustion is deeper than your muscles, bones, and joints creaking. what if it is so totally incapacitating that you are going to fall down? what if you can't sleep? how do you take a nap, a break, a respite, from life?

dangerously tired
when you're tired and need to sleep, you go to sleep. it is dangerous to stay awake if your eyes are closing-- at the wheel, at work, in public. but what if the exhaustion is deeper than your muscles, bones, and joints creaking. what if it is so totally incapacitating that you are going to fall down? what if you can't sleep? how do you take a nap, a break, a respite, from life?
