It’s late
A little Tchaik 5
On the CD player
I’m tired
Or am I
The body
Is ready for
Sleep
For repose
For the unconscious
Rest
Which we
Call
Sleep
But is the rest of me
Ready for
The weird dreams
For the stiffness
That the
Sleep of
An old man
Brings
I think not
But I must
As the body demands
Condemns
And I do mean condemns
Myself to sleep
As much as I
Regret the side
Effects
I must sleep
