 Finding The Flood - Poems by Jeremy Joel

Binge Sleeping



A normal man's workday begins and ends
I'm the lethargic king of a lackluster land
Double-digits are such a wasteful minimum
My world starts spinning at 2 p.m.
Inebriation at dusk, hibernation at dawn
Van Halen moons and Van Helsing suns
Addiction to paralysis is an afternoon delight
Pending the annoyance of children outside
School bus shenanigans and a rock-dented sign
Solar energy deficient to the cave dweller inside
Nice weather we're having if I ran a few errands
Opportunities ripe beyond this graveyard for flies
Comfortable straightjackets safeguard sanity
Anal-retentiveness in a disorganized reality


Sleeping for serenity, dreaming away misery
Breakfast, not for the android, rather human beings
Moving their machines, green to red, red to green
Caller ID so telemarketers DND
Pause the DVD for a pizza delivery
It's a running joke
This addict surviving the ante meridiem
Unfair to her, unkind to him
The Catch-22 of Jeremy and Mariam
He's freebasing internet, freefalling into electrons
Binging and purging his freedom away
Supersized combos as cholesterol comes
In daylight he's diseased, in darkness he's pleased
Monday morning, 8 a.m., streets are a stampede
Antitheses loom outside
Spoiled opportunities and energized children
A normal man's workweek begins again
