Fragment: Debate in the Cave of Hypnos

.
.
.
Last night, again with a testy Hypnos in his cave,
I watched Aergia and Horme argue about
the competing qualities of sloth and effort.
Horme gave a complex, energetic soliloquy,
while Aergia just leaned against a Doric column
and yawned.
"Don't you have a poem to write?" Horme asked me,
obviously frustrated. I shrugged my shoulders,
making a point for the other side.
Hypnos snorted in his sleep and turned his back
on the debate...

[Not done yet...but I was, like Aergia, a bit slothful yesterday. I'm trying to keep up the poem-a-day thing, honestly...]
