Silence pervades the night of fitful rest as neon brings the stark upon the covered eye. Countless sheep dance the tune, jump the rail as shot bled sight wrestles against the barroom entrance light. The crash of bells sounding the dawn, closing the bar, extinguishing neon. Why now, when a mere pittance of rest has doused the tired brain and grain filled eyes? Staring blankly, a stubbled chin below the hulking scowl. Asking for perhaps a pardon from the daily lashing of dawn on eyes painted red, starved. Knowing that the hands will crawl the face of time as nods cramp the neck and drool slides silently into a forming pool... The dead rest soundly as fretful slumber waits the crash of a near lifeless form. A mumbled voice....99, 98, 97... |

brings to my mind that the brain is filled with grain and the eyes are the tired... don't mind me, I have been taking a friend to DUI mandated classes once a week...so I can picture this with clarity. &s M |
