“I don’t know why we fight.
It takes much too effort to stay mad at you.
To dodge your skin in the hallway
and leave the kitchen without bringing you a treat.
It takes much too effort to stare at the sink
so my eyes don’t smile at you in the mirror.
It takes much too effort to look away as we undress
and lie apart in the now bigger bed.
It takes much too effort to stiffen my body
because sleepy limbs forget fights
and pride is always lost in dreams.
It takes much too effort to awaken every hour to make sure we are islands with a gulf of white sheets separating us.
I dread the light peeking through the parted curtains
and empathise with your groans —
I didn’t get any sleep either.
I really don’t know why we fight.
It takes much too effort to stay mad at one another
when it’s so easy for us to love.”
― Kamand Kojouri

Taggle farted.
Plain Kate coughed and sneezed. And then she really was awake.”
― Erin Bow

“Wake up.
If your eyes are sleeping
then wipe them gently.
You need to be awake for this.
It is a matter of life and death.

Wake up!
If your mind is sleeping
then shake it quickly.
You need to be awake for this.
It is a matter of life and death.

Wake up, I said!
If your heart is sleeping
then beat your chest!
You need to be awake for life!
You need to be awake for love!
It is a matter of living and being alive.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I was noticing during living in Hawaii that I would become chronically fatigued and sleepy after eating. It was strange, as it did not happen at every meal. I would eat at the same restaurants and sometimes I would be sickly after eating and other times I would feel fine. I knew I had past food intolerance to gluten, fructose and lactose and was avoiding them. But even with this avoidance, some meals would make me sickly! It was a mystery I could not understand, no matter how much I tried. The only clue I had was it seemed to occur only when I ate large meals. I could eat small meals fine anywhere, but large meals were an occasional issue.”
