Have you ever slept for seven hours at night and felt exhausted during the middle of the day? Have you ever wanted to just take a nap during the day, but your mind wouldn’t let you?

feeling exhausted
head aches
sun shining

a little breeze flowing in
through an open window

it’s the middle of the day
and I want to sleep
even though I slept all night

oh well
I lay down on the couch
with country music videos on TV
but eyes don’t shut
and thoughts won’t stay still
long enough to sleep

I get up
wondering what to do
so I begin looking things up on the internet
catfish jerky
when the best time is to catch catfish
look for jobs
and, of course, facebook and myspace
yet nothing seems interesting
nothing really catches my eye and says “wow”

I pace between rooms
trying to find something else to do
but I am still exhausted
and my head still aches

oh what to do
on a sunny afternoon
when all I feel like doing is sleeping
