"Why are we all awake?"
My body is aching, which I attribute to the fact that I've forgotten how to sleep.
At night I attempt almost every form of pillow body combinations, contorting, and shifting myself around. Often times deciding to just give up and face the ceiling. Usually at this point I can hear that Laura isn't asleep either, I wonder if I should ask her to smoke, and drink some tea. But I never do.
In the summer when I couldn't sleep, I would make myself some coffee and go for a walk. I'd always go to this huge stone fountain on campus, just lie in front of it, close my eyes, and eventually fall asleep there, in the grass. And I'd wake up with the sun warming my face.
