An Ode To My New Bed Justin Fisher Every night, a sanctuary awaits when I enter my room My sweet getaway from the real world I sink into the plush mattress and pull the covers of my new bed up to my nose Soft as if sleeping on an alpaca an as comfortable as if laying on a cloud of cotton It is the one corner of the universe in which I have the power to drift into another state When my new bed replaced the old one it was large and intimidating But after I spent my first night in it I knew I could never go back My new bed makes the old bed feel like a hard, wooden floor My new bed sucks me in like a vacuum sucks in dust When I lay on it Its like floating through the sky It is a magical place, a place to rid my stresses and dream It offers me a place of peace and that is all I need 102
