sleep walking

i leave the house
in the middle of
the night, i get
dressed, i take
nothing with me,
no keys, no phone,
no hat or coat,
no shoes, just pants
and a shirt. i am
still asleep, but
i feel i need a
walk in the cool
night air. i feel
that i need to get
things done. i go
and don't return
for eight hours,
i find things to
do, i blend into
the shadows, i
disappear in the
lights of cars
going by, i make
small talk and
pretend that i am
busy. i am
nowhere and i am
sound alseep, it
is not unlike what
i do every day,
except that i
stop for coffee.
