Bleary eyed, I stumble awake

My heart, my soul a constant ache

Dreaming of the Apocalypse

A slow dawning amidships

Of reason, hellfire discretionary

Bargaining with my mental hypothecary

I dream, I scheme, my life probationary

All based upon the momentary

Hope of nocturnal postulating

My purpose participating

In this grande illusion sodden

With dreams and meaning untrodden
