Self-Portrait with Insomnia


I cannot sleep.

I often cannot sleep.

Tonight, rather than staring aimlessly at the darkened ceiling of my bedroom, I am playing with photographs and listening to music on my MP3 player.

There is a dreamy quality to Emmylou Harris' voice as she sings Going Back to Harlan but it does not make me any sleepier than the warm milk I drank earlier in the evening.

Thank goodness it is a weekend and I can sleep in tomorrow morning with no consequences.
