Half-Awake And Half-Sleepy Poem by Sukhee Bukhbat

Let me sleep please.
Don’t wake me up.
But the phone is ringing.
What can you do?

My brain is working half,
My senses are sensing half,
I am actually acting half,
That call had better be good.

Call is serious enough.
I have to run to turn on my computer,
And log into IM. I am invited
To very honest discussion.

By now I am full awake from 3 hour sleep.
Try to be nice and not angry.
Dry lips are interrupting me.
But I can’t go for anything to drink.

I am getting a response that
It can’t be talked.
I am thinking in my way.
I can’t be awake.

Get something to drink
And go back to sleep.
Now I am sleeping half,
Thinking half what was all about.
