Sunny Side Up


It was like someone pulled my plug; I slept for thirteen hrs straight. Slept like a big boar in a cave. Slept; like Sleepin Beauty (the Cavassilas version); like seduced by Benzodiapines. No dreams, no shifts of color, no pee breaks. Just solid blackness. 46000 seconds of blessed vacuum.

And then: eyes open to sunshine.

No electricity n no AC. Bedroom air full of hot flashes. I open my eyes to Silverlake sun. Turn around in the cocaine white sheets, skinny palmtrees outside smilin back at me. I watch the leaves and branches gently boppin away in the glitterin pool. I smile. I smile like an infant that jus learned how 2 control face muscles.
