sometimes...
I just want to curl up in a little ball, like a cat in the sun, and go to sleep. Retreat from all the woes and worries-let all the unpaid bills, looming debts, emotional frustrations, fears and insecurities just go away, vanish!-by making myself as small and unobtrusive as possible. I'd pull in my long arms, legs, hands and my big ol' feet like a snail withdrawing into the safety of it's shell. Wrapt all tight, arms around legs like a tiny ball of string, round and perfect. A cocoon, that's what I need! Wow, how amazing it must be to be able to weave yourself up into a soft white blanket, to completely cover yourself, all balled up head to foot and just exist in your own puny universe for a time. Of course melting into a gooey mess of glop and then reforming into a completely different shape might kinda suck. Though emerging transformed could be a blast. Look ma, I'm a butterfly! Don't mind me, I'm clearly rambling... Way, way too many metaphors, or is it a simile when you use the word 'like'? High school grammer was a long time ago. Anyway I have to unfurl myself now and prepare for reentry. Calls to make, kid to pick up, dinner to make, night school to go to... Life.
