sleep

the machine started to stop.
i knew i had exactly 1/2 hour to be asleep from now til it started all over again.
i fell down to my bed, alone, and started reading the most boring book i found.
the reading made me dizzy, and the sleeping pills kicked in to do their magic,
i was asleep in exactly 15 minutes.
when the machine started again, i was already dreaming i had someone with me, wanting to get crushed between my skinny arms.
