sweet dreams

i am usually in bed

 and

 asleep

 by 10 pm
its a good thing

 because

 toonman

 who comes to bed many hours later 

is a restless sleeper 

he has very active dreams

 by active

 i mean 

he talks
sometimes
very loudly

 sometimes

 very clearly 

other times 

in
'tongues' 

perhaps
 he's speaking a foreign language

 i for sure dont understand

 oh yeah

 i am awake
 for
his dreams

 his punches

his racing legs 

loud laughter

 other

 times
i wake
when

 he is clearly speaking

 either 

in argument

 or

giving
 directions
instructions

 i have noticed 

his dreams

 happen

around 2 am 

occasionally

 lasting up to an hour

really

i know this

 because

 i am
awake
for all of it 

mainly

 i try
 not to be
hit or kicked

 i recently woke him

 when he sat up
 'choking' a pillow 

he had
 no idea
 what he was doing

 amazingly

 after i woke him

he 

went

 right back to sleep

me

 not so much

 i have told him of his exploits

 he is always skeptical 

so

 i told him i would video tape him

 i took my phone to bed the other night

 awakening
to his loud laughter

 i got the video app ready

 of course 

because

 i was prepared

 he did nothing

 more

nothing
worth taping

 or

 i would have

 i guess

 he's a lot like the cats

when

 they

 are doing something

 i want to record

as soon as

i grab the phone

 they stop

 trust me

 i will get evidence

 sooner or later 

meanwhile 

i will continue to be prepared!

there's something dreamy about this photo
