sleepless

what could be your thoughts on a sleepless night?

it is 27 minutes past the dreaded hour of 3am and you seem to be in bad need of an adding machine to help you count sheep. while half the world is sleeping with the rest of the people at home, here you are talking with your computer, expecting some answers to long thought of questions.

what if you wake up and you realize that you are still a baby, and that the entire life you thought you have lived was just an infant's dream? that thought always knocks on your coconut shell like the familiar beat to tahitian dance.

what if tonight's your last night on earth and you spent your waking minutes typing on your computer instead of doing more important stuff (what could have been more important anyway?) what if the truman show were real, and that everything that unfolds in your life is a tv-show existence, the biggest reality tv show on air?

what if you were simply a figment of another person's imagination and that he or she can cease giving you existence with a simple stroke of his/her pen?

what if you choose not to work tomorrow? what if you choose no to believe in anything anymore? what if you knew exactly how your life would turn out, who you're marrying, how many kids you're having, the names of your children and how they will turn out as adults?

what if you are not the person you thought you were? what if you were sleeping instead of thinking about all these things?

why not succumb to sleep?
