Drowsiness

Published by swissmarkp at 9:48 pm under Thoughts Edit This

Drowsiness is what I have. Sleepy, weary, tired and barely able to keep my eyes open. An exciting movie is playing before me, but I don’t care. Indifference is my stance. Too fatigued to get up and go to my bed, I sit. No, I slouch, head nodding, neck aching. I yawn, not even able to make a decision. Do I make one movement so my body falls on it’s side on my fluffy couch? Or do I take a deep breath, get up, put my dishes away, grab my wife’s hand and slowly shuffle to our room? If I go to my room I would feel required to also brush my teeth. But if I stay I feel no responsibility. I fell asleep on the sofa, can’t do anything about that now can I? Yet as fate may have it my wife stirs first, pulling my hand towards our room. I’m still not brushing my teeth.
