Sleepy Time

Earlier today
My mind was going a mile a minute and still wasn't going fast enough.
Earlier today
I was racing against dead lines chasing after finish lines.
Earlier today
I was wasting maybe too much time.
Earlier today
I couldn't find enough time.
Earlier today

Now
I'm slowing down.
Now
I'm falling to the ground.
Now
My time is gone and never coming around.
Now
I'm going to go to bed and fall into deep, sweet sleep.

Nice Poem.
Earlier this week, I was teaching 300 children how to do-si-do and allemande left and promenade.

Now...
I'm really tired...
