Nappers unit

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Nap hangovers are real for sure. Gotta weigh the tiredness against the inevitable, it’s sometimes worth it.

when you woke up from your nap, aka 2 hours of not contributing to small child-watching, was your spouse ready to greet you with a separation notice

I've always felt Brucie's opening stanza of Hungry Heart was pretty damn savage.

Got a wife and kids down in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back.


But perhaps he was just a napper that had had a gutful.

She was with her grandmother
Upon awakening, I assume she confronted you with some low priority honey do items to get done immediately. After updating you on all the things she’d gotten done around the house while you were idle.

I can’t imagine napping at that time. I’d wake up at some ungodly hour.
