Lack of sleep is ...

Lack of sleep is
worry rats at the edges
gnawing inward, cheese wonder
ing - just ing - why have I
not been eaten? (eatening?) Why
not slept? Two days, and
nothing has become unreal
surreal (but would I know [if it had?])

The stars fall out of the sky
even they sleep, the milky way
cold milk, to lull them into
silence. There is no stress
so why? No answer, only pills
that fail and home remedies
- the terrible long list -
tried with fatalistic superstition
