i fight sleep like a ninja
silently, stealthily as it tries to wash over me
and then i attack
brandishing swords and stars
dazzling it with my many moves and sharp tongue
until i choose to surrender
and succumb to the wave
allowing the dream state to enjoy its brief victory
for nearly one-third of the earth's rotation
until the first glints of sunrise hit my slumbering eyes
again
