So Dog Gone Tired Today... May 20th, 2021

Like a fly without his/her buzz
even popping a guarana (caffeine) does

not shake the feeling

like brain covered with fuzz

no matter how hard I try eyelids claps

shut nor how many hours of sleep elapse

offers nary reprieve folds

welded tightly shut

feel like they weigh

much as a ton mud covered flaps,

thus thought to summon

meager energy reserves perhaps

generating poetic lines

interrupted by taking constant naps

but no matter eyelids

weigh heavy as a ton steel traps

narcolepsy not ruled out since

tired body struggles as if gasping for air,
yet such fatigued state uncommon for me,

though bothersome to grin and bear

this bout of sleepiness, where this

white knight chess sleeps

trouble free aye declare
quality deep rapid eye

movement marked noticed

since medication taken

to treat debilitating anxiety e\'er

concomitant panic attacks, where psyche

got rent asunder send

ding this atheist to hell

episodes pained me

forked flaming tongues flare

ling, immobilizing, paralyzing
and stinging entire body,

hence methinks primary cerebral gear
and cog glommed

like a drain clogged with hair

nonetheless, no alarmist worry,

nor \"worst case scenarios\" betray
my ordinarily mellow emotional state,

thus any task I must delay

thoughts unstoppably captivated

by snoozing upon

a bed of freshly mown hay,
and then hours later

diminishing fatigue in catchy rye
ming verse aye re: lay
relishing being awake,

the mine true valued self I kin portray

best to surrender whereby

unfettered invisible manacle doth yoke

mine body electric unresponsive, yet woke

to myriad stuff dreams get made

ashen faced flesh impossible mission

to energize (think cattle prod) futile stoke,

thus methinks eternal sleep only option,

whereby yours truly only request do not provoke

nor poke

the bear, but only I make exception for

Little Red Riding Hood,

cuz she ranks as innocent young female folk.
