terse as virulent hermaphrodites

I suppose working hard all day and then knitting rather than napping when I get home is likely to call in its due and present its demands, etc, sooner or later.

In other words, I'm tired.

I am enjoying the knitting, though.

Contours

Round - oblong - like jam -
Terse as virulent hermaphrodites;
Calling across the sodden twisted ends of Time.
Edifices of importunity
Sway like Parmesan before the half-tones
Of Episcopalian Michaelmas;
Bodies are so impossible to see in retrospect -
And yet I know the well of truth
Is gutted like a pratchful Unicorn.
Sog, sog, sog - why is my mind ambitious?
That's what it is.

Woah! You're sacrificing your nap on the knitting altar! When you obsess, you obsess hard! ^^;

Oh, I do, I do. You should know that by now. :)

Ahah, you *nap* when you get home. That explains those 2 am bedtimes and the fact you haven't dropped dead yet from lack of sleep.

Precisely. I find that an hour or two of doze between work and supper gets my brain back into shape.
