A Nap

When head is tight,
When lips are loose,
When tired like after a fight,
When neck feels like it's in a noose,

After going round through round at work,
After trudging home when all aches,
After not getting the door key to work,
After counting all the days mistakes,

At the point when clear thought can no longer come,
At a place where things start to be easily forgotten,
At the corner of still movement and painfully numb,
At the time where the days victories have already turned rotten,

Only 30 minutes of sleep.
Only 30 minutes of sleep.

The couch is the place for me;
The couch is the place to be;
The couch gives a space to rest;
The couch gives liberty best.
