Poetry from the 3:15 Experiment August 6 2009: weight of sleep
December 14, 2009

The weight of sleep
urges to decide
She fights back sure that it is
worthwhile to stay awake long
enough for meaning to be made.
A compromise is reached
But each side thinks the other
was the winner.

Love those last three lines. They paint an entire world.
Compromise is always win win,
but something is always lost in the process…
