It’s 9:18 in the morn­ing and I can’t sleep. I end­ed up falling asleep around 5 and wak­ing up around 8:30. I dis­cov­ered a splin­ter in my foot I must have acquired while walk­ing to get a glass of water. There’s too much activ­i­ty in my brain. Perhaps I’ll fall back asleep again, when I can for­get about all this, so I don’t need to think so much. Not that my think­ing is vol­un­tary.

I’ll let this song play me out. I’m rarely one who’s able to stop in the mid­dle.
