sleepy time yo

i force myself to keep reading
my book
about churchill
the bombing of great britain.

the war may have been shorter
than the time

it's taking me to get to the end
of this tome.
they haven't even
bombed pearl
harbor yet.  

but i order more books
and stack them up on the nightstand

to prompt me on.
to push me forward.

it's just that after three pages
about
winston, talking about
his baths

his dogs, his drinking, his 
temper
and humor

and how he chewed his cigars
i'm out like a light

in no time. i'm nearly off
my trolley

with this book.
