wishing we could all sleep and wake up like this baby


"One must be disinterested, accept that a sound is a sound and a man is a man, give up illusions about ideas of order, expressions of sentiment, and all the rest of our inherited aesthetic claptrap.”
-McLuhan

A sound is a sound, a human is a human, a snore is a snore and i am scared [by it].

i was staying over at a friend’s house.
he snored very loudly.
i woke up many times because i could not stay asleep with the noise.
why not snapchat it.

lumbering giant
monster machine being awoken
so afraid
can’t do anything
have to stay where i am
no where else to go
need sleep, have to stay here, don’t wanna wake anyone up to help me, to tell them to be quieter
it’s biological, natural
what’s natural makes me scared
what do i do
so helpless
really startled
scared
is it done
no its not
oh it's subsiding
nooooooooo
can't
get
away
from
it


^these are a combination of things i felt while i continued to keep being awoken by my friend, as well as memories of staying over in hotels on family vacations with my dad snoring even louder, since the hotel room was only so big for me and my four other family members. we all have to sleep, otherwise we'll be cranky the next day...




was reminded of warhol's sleep
more on warhol and repetition

  1. I like the way you formatted this post and connected it to Warhol and included a poem. Its a stronger piece this way.
