parasomnia

I’m sorry if I freaked you out
I really didn’t want to go there

and how I got there in the first place
is beyond anyone’s imagination
I mean really
driving while sleeping
—who the hell does that

by the time the cock crowed
I was fast asleep in my bed
beside me an acting award
that belonged to you

and you
just like my car
were nowhere to be found
