Twelve-hundred miles never felt so good.
"Restraint to slumber" by Charles Bukowski. "I believe that I love to sleep, much more than anybody I've ever met.
I have the ability to sleep for two or three days and nights and I will go to bed at any given moment.
I often confused my girlfriends this way-
Say, it would be about one-thirty in the afternoon,
"Well, I'm going to bed now, I'm going to sleep..."
Most of them wouldn't mind;
They would go to bed with me thinking I was hinting for sex, but I would just turn my back and snore off.
This, of course, could explain why so many of my girlfriends left me.
As for doctors, they were never any help;
"Listen, I have this desire to go to bed and sleep, almost all the time.
What is wrong with me?"
"Do you get enough exercise?"
"Yes..."
"Are you getting enough nourishment?"
"Yes..."
They always handed me a prescription, which I threw away between the office and the parking lot.
It's a curios malady because I can't sleep between 6PM and midnight.
And when I arise, it can never be before noon.
And should the phone ring, say, at 10:30AM, I go into a mad rage.
Don't even ask who the caller is, scream into the phone,
"WHAT ARE YOU CALLING ME FOR AT THIS HOUR?"
Hang up...
Every person, I suppose, has their eccentricities;
But in an effort to be normal in the world's eye, they overcome them and therefore destroy their special calling.
I've kept mine, and do believe that they have lent generously to my existence.
Massachusetts has been nothing short of spectacular since the day that I set foot. The leaves are all so taking here, not one is a smidgen like the other, and the colors alone are beyond describable. I plan on taking pictures as soon as I find a decent camera to use, and a compromise in keeping warm because shivering (almost to death) while passing through just seems absurd, as it is nearly twenty degrees... which I'd say that is one of the only hitches in my staying here; the cold. That, and the fact that there is someone absent in enjoying this all with me. (Hint taken?) There is so much more that I would love to go on about, but as of now the wife and I are off to wreak havoc in small towns everywhere and conquer shortly after.
