night sweat

shake off the night sweat. there are so many things i must do and so little time to do them. i feel overwhelmed to say the least. i'm such a little dreamer. i have a few days to try and find an apartment and to apply for jobs and instead i am here, in this little room, waxing poetically about love. i am truly hopeless. i remember this line from my freshmen year in college "shake off the night sweat". i imagined myself a tired race horse, overwhelmed and falling behind, sweating in the dark hours of night, trying the whole time to get ahead, trying to shake off the night sweat.
