Sleep

The predominant dilemma of cognitive science.
Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta.
Patterns conserved, Patterns reset.
Cycles refreshed, cycles rerun

Dreams?
The disordered rest of a million synapses.
Forgetting to remember the world the next morning.
The consequence of entropy.

Drugged, Lucid,
Experiments with sensory deprivation.
A hippo on my chest.
Now my lover, singing a ballad.

A rockstar with a plastic guitar.
A golden scaled dragon,
stretching out into infinity.
running across the cataract.

Into Lesbos, screaming at Aristotle.
Into London, screaming at Bacon.
Into Cambridge, screaming at Newton.
Into Home, screaming at myself.

Sleep, child.
