Extreme Exhaustion

by Maureen Ucles

Tired

Yawning

Hazy

Thinking

Dreaming

Sleeping

Droopy-eyed

Exhausted

Tired

Stalling

Tripping

Falling

Down

Down

Down

Skinned knee

Why me?

No sleep

Reading

Can't put it down

Head in the clouds

ZZZ

Eyes rolling

twitching

inclined

behind

the wheel

Oh-no!

Crunching ice

Pump up the jam

Window's downing

not a sound

snoring

Oh my!

Weaving

Leaving

Curb hopping

Stopping

Fire hydrant killing

Waterfalling
Spewing

Fountain's blue

Siren's blazing

Ambulance pacing

Fire Department chasing

Chief of police calling

SWAT Teams sprawling

Go home!
No thing

Need some sleep
Rest my eyes

Counting sheep
too tired to jump

one, two, three...

no shut eye near

prying open my lids

tooth picks

breaking

not solution
HELP ME!
I'm stuck
Twilight Zone
Ground Hog Day

Extreme Exhaustion
