We rest.

Take my hand, save what you're doing for tomorrow.
You won't take any more information in tonight.
Your eyes are glazing.
Kill all the electrical things.
Take your clothes off.

Grip the sink.
Brush.
Spit.
Rinse.
Wipe the grime from your face.
Grimace back at the mirror. 

Set your alarm clock
Beyond looming dates,
Beyond a heart that lurches
Like a snapping dog.

Sleep for a week. 
 Click off the light, drop
Your head onto the pillow.
It'll take the weight.
