VALIUM
Jennifer Rowan
daydreams
unrecorded actions
speaking to me
softly
i find myself awake and wondering
where my day has gone
because I take pills after hours
To keep surprises from killing me
I am so tired
But not sleepy
I think you know the feeling
where your mind wanders madly
trying to find solace in the most
obscure situations
like hallucinations of hopping rabbits
and old men giving your sister hickies
oh please let me slide
down into the void that gives sense to the world
