sleep.

it's late; the town is sleeping,
and the sirens are at it again,
as well as insomnia:
i can't sleep. i can never sleep.
a sleepless dreaming,
for whatever meaning.
the television holds no interest,
it's all late night talk shows.
and you know how i hate those.
my bed is calling me,
my dreams are wanting me,
my pillow longs for me,
yet i cannot fulfill their needs,
i cannot find sleep.
