...emerge sober from a riddle of sleep

...emerge sober from a riddle of sleep 
that lacks the sour swoon of sloshed regret
for you have not yet damaged your liver from drink
though the follies of night-REM still usher form through a fantasia

How does time arrive damaged?
For, you once held an anchorite in the womb
Now arms sprout and drift 
through the poles of the globe;
  as you gawk at the cleft lips of Pangaea
