A Waking Sleep

Asleep,
You wander through life.
You wonder what it is like
To be awake.
Yet, waking
You have no time for.

Awaking
is a distraction.
And, you have your hands full
with distractions,
And no more need for things that require any more of your
Attention.

Attention,
yours is divided enough.
Why would you want to awaken
When you can roll through life in a waking

sleep?
