my will
requires no food
no sleep.
   my brain needs
but my will
my flesh –
 
process and reality,
pairs in a complex unit.
 
at night
i struggle
against sleep..
 
drawn in the force form
to my lover
like the planet
like vegetative plants
to the dawn
of consciousness
to maximum life –
in the face of the brevity
of existence.
 
in the lamplight,
it is also said about Diogenes
that he put an end to himself
by refusing to breathe.

probably the remnants of my cold you heard -
and the creaking of the hard disk drive.
 
thanks, snake for listening.

thank you, alan.
 
since ad agencies are not exactly known for "truth" in advertising,
my vote goes to the doctor -- at least it would keep him awake[ning].
