part 1

i didn't really sleep last night. i was awake till about 6 or 7 in the morning. i was using the computer for a while, then got sick of it and decided to read sandman over again. so i was reading and listening to music for a few hours. at like 5 in the morning, my brother comes into my room, sleepy-eyed and grabbing his bolster. he's 21.

part 2

he seats himself on my chair. his face is against his bolster. i know he's crying. i put my book down, remembering- page 85. i pull him to sit next to me on my bed and i put my arm over him. 'nightmare?' he nods his head. 'i dreamt something happened to you.'
'i had the same dream as you 2 nights back.'
he puts his arm over me.

part 3

and then he tells me that he realises we hadn't really been talking, and asked what's been up with me. i didn't know where to start. i thought school was a good topic to start with. eventually i ended up playing for him my rendition of the intro to Sweet Dreams. i couldn't really play it well though. but i swear it's good.

part 4

the sentimentalities die down for a bit, then he tells me he's going back to his room to sleep. he goes, then i go back to my book. page 85.
"Look, the sandman's a fairy story you tell kids to get them off to sleep. sprinkles magic dust in your eyes and brings you... sweet dreams."

there was a boy who tried to rhyme
so hard he tried he had no time
to thank the ones who gave him tips
on how to end.
