ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Tim Baker and I'am 21 years old. I live in Adelaide Australia, but soon I leave for Europe. I have been developing my writing/art since high school and hope to acheive something with my work. At the moment I'am trying to write a novel amongst other things as well as my "text art". My reason for writing is to provoke extension of thought and have an impact. So please either love or hate my work, just don't sit on the fence.

Daytime Insomnia
Tim Baker


Limbs heavy,
Eyes wilting,
On the edge,
Of sleep and mental restlessness,
Thoughts exceed the speed limit,
Constant energetic fatigue,
Time ticks forward two; then back one,
Surrounded by farce,
Inconsequential malversation,
Limbs still,
Eyes closed,
Free at last,
From the edge,
Of sleep and mental restlessness.
