You doze off and the world keeps spinning. After midnight, the pace of the world is a little different. Small cars and motorbikes have been replaced by cargo trucks that come to town to meet their needs.
Poets, students, storytellers, restless people are awake. Some sit at tables and lamps, others lie on their beds and stare at the ceiling. What's the point of it?
Some dogs howl at the moon. Cats go for walks, and pigeons hoot to let rivals know that this is their territory.
What power do we seek for ourselves? Men seek it through women, women seek it through men, men seek it through men, and women seek it through women.
People traveling long distances at night often wonder if it's worth it. Are they still there the morning after they finally reach their destination, or are they constantly wrestling with themselves?An inevitable battle with sleep. Your body switches off and your senses become numb. If only they could take a 10 hour nap.
If so, after midnight, the pace of the world is a little different.
