The Sacred - Stephen Dunn
After the teacher asked if anyone had a sacred place and the students fidgeted and shrank in their chairs, the most serious of them all said it was his car, being in it alone, his tape deck playing things he’d chosen, and others knew the truth had been spoken and began speaking about their rooms, their hiding places, but the car kept coming up, the car in motion, music filling it, and sometimes...

Sleep - Carsten Rene Nielsen
While you sleep, the conscious world is cut out of the universe with crooked scissors.
