*commit no nuisance

Please let me sleep.
In the night-time, when it's dark
and everyone else is taking their part
in natural bodily mechanisms.
When the entire world is saying sleep
let me listen.
Let me hear the words and rest awhile.
Not hide away in wakeful solitude,
and not wander aimlessly through priviledged thoughts.
Please let me sleep.

I am an addict, justified by Kate Moss. I am a writer addicted to words. I am a dreamer, but I can't sleep. And when I do I don't dream. I am European, though I have barely spent more than a fortnight there, nor speak any of their languages to any level of proficiency. I am Australian, though I loathe the place and have no passion for cricket. I am committed, though I sometimes get a little distracted. I am a man, and take on all the responsibility that entails. Most of the time. I am a pragmatist, a realist, an idealist and a romantic. I am a smoker, though I am always thinking about quitting or have just started again. I am aspirational, with no further details currently available.
