It's late.
Too late, in fact, for me to
Even be here.
But I can't sleep.
I've listened countless times
To the toilet flushing just a
Few feet of plaster from my
head.
I can hear the dog impatiently
Sniffering
Its little collar bell chiming
Ceaselessly
As it paces the hall outside
My door.
Still can't sleep.
Won't sleep.
Can't sleep.
