bed
A bed is the nightly stage where the day’s accumulated fatigue and regrets are reenacted. One seeks solace on its soft sheets, only to find one’s overdue bills of nightmares tucked beneath. Under the plush covers lie unpaid records of long working hours and smartphone browsing histories. Each morning we escape this lukewarm prison, only to willingly return at night as both inmate and warden. The bed supplies sleep and, as a bonus, a loyal concierge of self-loathing.
