dream machine engages

Clik The Mouse

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 there’s a stillness to the night –
sleep has zero’d in on the whole household
bar one
the night owl
the habitual moon-walker

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 and in the dying moments
afore they too join the slumber party
even the tiniest movements
create a deafening din

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 a twisting of a tap
and a waterfall spouts, torrents into the tumbler;
a rifling through pockets
for the softest of tissues
to dab the runniest of noses
sounds like a full-on firing range;

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 but despite all this uproar
the biggest racket is reserved
when finally the land of nod beckons
and the head nestles into duck-down wadding;
the eyelids flutter, then settle, open no more
but the dream machine engages
and over the shindig of snores
there’s the loudest of roars
when the Wednesdayite shoots and scores!

Notes

Why….
Owl / Wednesday / geddit?

yes, written on a Wednesday night (in October)!
After watching Champions League football.
Lille 1 CFC 2 (Abraham, Willian)

Also after watching EFL Highlights show, of midweek matches. (Tho’ Wednesday played on Tuesday! And lost 1-0 away at Hull.)
