Need sleep

Corbett | October 22, 2003 6:55 AM

Need sleep so badly. Still, even when I go to the hot springs at midnight, collapse like a mummy into bed at 1:47am, I'm stressing out and awake at 6:10am. Legal contracts, poster designs, fliers for the Living Room, return emails, DJ bookings, calls to China, investment meetings, rent, salaries, product descriptions, black box sales, distribution, deadlines, crappy IBM servers,
Raid 0, Raid 5, Apache config files, PubCharset=big5, music copyrights, master tapes, promotion schedules, follow up, follow up, IP rights, carrier contracts, publishers, content services, ISP licenses, and on and on and on...

Time for a break. Time to see Kill Bill.

I used to write poems. Here's a haiku. They need to be 17 syllables, or so they say, to be true to classical form.

I

A slight rumble passes
imperceptible
a trash truck? an alarm clock?

and another....

II

inside the coffee bean
lies solace from things unseen
Starbucks again?

and yet another from Ted Nugent, the haiku master...

III

hey hey, when in doubt
i whip it out
i got me a rock and roll band

and oh my god not another....

IV

simple things in life are free
not my conscience
at dawn it still haunts me

and finally please stop another...

V

worry worry
you always worry
stop being in such a hurry

Today I will accomplish three acts of great importance

1) I will tell my wife how much I love her
2) I will wrestle with my dog
3) I will water the plants

The rest can go to hell.
