my tired feet

I can't sleep
unless i run my fingers
between my toes - each space
given equal attention. Count
out the seconds. Derive the time
of day multiplied by the amount
of steps taken in relation
to my foot size in centi
meters divided by the amount of times
I cried
to the average temperature
over a 12 hour period
centigrade.

It's half-past midnight in Warsaw
and I rub between my thumb and pointer toes
four and a quarter times. Sigh one last time, and fall asleep.
