Sleepless is his state from birth, does he fear debacle? Lies, all lies, are what he hears, the stories always clash. Alarm dogs know he needs a fix, his life is caffeinated. So, he plugs his ears with cotton, silence is the honest truth. Snowstorms look like cotton balls, but he does not reprove. He prefers to dress in fleece than strip to skin for summer.
Notes:
The words I chose are:
- Sleepless-Caffeinated
- Lies-Truth
- Snowstorms (yes, we’re having one now)-Summer
