WILLA v1 - The Princess and the Pea

The Princess and the Pea
Soft decisions pile up like feather beds each easy choice resting lightly on top, on top Until finally the woman climbs up for sleep and feels at the bottom some pea that makes sleep Impossible and unwelcome She is no one's princess these mattresses this pea self made her own test	she has been set upon other beds tested by other imposed standards spread herself touched four corners till wrists and ankles ached Passing, she had a prize unintended unacknowledged that has become a small hard pea that bothers only her own sleep
