FIVE MORE MINUTES. THEN, REVOLUTION!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sleep, the first longing thought springs forth<\/span><\/p>\n

and then I think how typical<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just of 5 AM which you could call my moment\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

but THIS moment in our capitalist dystopia<\/span><\/p>\n

this WHOLE moment with all its psychotic priorities<\/span><\/p>\n

Only the quarantined are sick of sleep<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Everybody else is just as tired<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as broke<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as essential as they were when The Onion was still funny<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as broken as they were before Teen Vogue was a comrade.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Just as tired. Just as broke. Just as essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as broken. If not, more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, but how is Jeff Bezos doing? Cool, cool.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>How can I sleep when I\u2019m shaking.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can I shake if I don\u2019t know why.<\/span><\/p>\n

Am I afraid? Am I angry? <\/span><\/p>\n

Am I going to rise up now? Or<\/span><\/p>\n

will I hide under the covers again,<\/span><\/p>\n

and if I know that about myself<\/span><\/p>\n

how can I even look you in the eye and say<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI need more sleep\u201d ?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
