i attempt to balance a pencil
on my toe, carefully concentrating
as it falls ever so slightly, and i sigh
i fail again.
i thump onto the bed, looking up
the ceiling is very close.
i touch it and hear something vibrate
it may be either from the falling rain
or the infuriating air conditioner.
i give the air conditioner a slight slap
and the vibration stops.
closing my eyes, i listen to the rain,
until it almost hypnotises me into
a relaxed, collected trance.
the rain somehow
does not keep you somnolent
but as a matter of fact,
the rain makes it seem
like it will keep me awake all night.
*reposted it! sorry.
i listened to another lofi playlist for this. search "lofi hip hop radio-relaxing beats to study/chill/sleep to" on youtube.
on a sidenote, happy mid-autumn festival! it's a very rainy festival tonight. wear your galoshes!
