ALL AGLOW AT 2:00AM:

 

Awake at 2:00am is a new sensation, it’s usually 4:00.

The night sky is a pearly bulb, moon luminous cloud 

wrapped around us, keeps all our random thoughts 

bouncing back to earth. With no owls hoot to announce 

the dawn, I get up, walk around, go back, lie down & 

pretend I remember sleep. Living every day in 

20 minute pieces so as to remain fresh in thinking 

leaves me feeling like I’m on a coffee drip, resetting 

the mind, tricking it to think like a child gets results 

in the studio but sets up a constant pulse of flinches 

& flicks, a trick I learned to not engage with anything 

until the prime time. It gives you a dumb expression, 

like you have no idea what’s going on, but in the room 

at the back there’s a light, watching, waiting for 

the sweet spot to engage. Wrapped in moonglow & chill, 

sparking flashbacks & toy cap cracks as subjects loom into 

view to be batted away until the last one leaves a space 

for sleep.
