Coming to from REM sleep
I look to my nightstand.
Dare I look at the time?
How long had I been sleeping for?
An hour?
Is it the next day yet?
I take a sip of water
Setting down my cup ever so gently
As to not turn on my clock.
But alas, the slight bump of the cup on table alerts my clock.
It lights up 1:27
I’d been sleeping for 2 and a half hours.
Don’t pick up the phone, don’t pick up the phone.
I pick up my phone
And start scrolling.
After becoming numb in the dim blue light of my phone
I look at the time.
1:30
Time has never passed so slowly.
