reason to sleep

The system fails

The subject lasts

The text of my existence

And that is why I work myself to death

I relish the victories of thinkers

I lose myself in something that resists

And thought itself is nothing but an illness

The fact that it dwells in language makes it so

Reason encourages sleeping

As sleep of reason

or reason to sleep

I close my eyes, one dream away from heaven

Because it all fails, laughs, and dreams

The sleep of reason breeds monsters

We wake up surrounded by monsters

The subject at home in my dreams

Where the reign of sleep was

I wake up in shock

and resume intellectual failures

And nothing can make me wake up

from the horrid travails of existing
