Insomnia

By CafeAuLait9185

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sleep (noun)- The sole experience In which you can see With closed eyes And not even do it On purpose; A period of time When you cannot be plagued By the troubles Or the dilemmas Of everyday life; The best form of earthly escape And the only one Available to all-- Rich, poor, old, young-- (especially the bored); The experience I desire most But is just out Of my grasp, Which almost comes but slips away. To: My neighbor's dog, Which obviously doesn't know What sleep is Or we'd both be doing it Right now.LOL don't ask Written January 10th, 2002 © on Jan 10 2002 08:35 AM PST   0 • 14
