Self vs. Self

I don't sleep.

I dream, but I don't sleep.

Yet I live in a constant reality.


I drink my coffee, I go to work, I arrive home, I eat, I relax, I catch up on some paperwork and then finally.... I lay down.

But I don't sleep, reality continues, yet I dream.

But when I dream, i awaken, although i haven't slept.

i drink my coffee, i go to work, i arrive home, i eat, i relax, i catch up on some paperwork and then finally.... i lay down.

i don't sleep, reality continues, yet i dream.

But when i dream, I awaken, although I haven't slept.


I don't know whether my bed(s) even gets used or not, but I'm sure i'll think about it again later so no need for ME to worry.
So I lay and i awaken, not the next day but in the night.
But i'm sure it's the day but I know better, or do I know worse?


Is it 2 cities, 2 countries, or even 2 realities we live in?

No. One city, one ME.


There's an axis to ME, and that means there's a Y and an X.

Y do things differently in the day than X do at night.


Today I met myself, and it killed ME.
