the metric system and other such ponderings

[The Crane Wife The Decemberists]

I've recently become obsessed with haikus thanks to Lindsey's super-creative blog. Here are some that I wrote in a boring class to keep from sleeping.

My eyes are heavy
My head is feeling the same
My god I'm dying

.......

Thinking eludes me
My dreams have taken over
Tick tock, so goes time

.......

Meters, kilograms
The simplicity of them
Inches are stupid

.......

Your head hair is red
Do the curtains match the drapes?
I'm just curious...

.......

Notice I started out only being able to think about how tired I was, and then I slowly started waking up since you have to be alert to count the syllables of a million different synonyms until you find one that fits. I think that in my semiconscious sleep deprived delirium, I became slightly ornery.
