midnight, silent
lost in the thought
of thinking
trying to remember
how to go to sleep
and the more I think
the deeper I get
and sleep now seems like an abstract concept
made up by ancient philosophers
who had nothing better to do at night
than to forget what life has to offer
or was sleep invented by New York stock brokers?
too bored to be rich
too rich to be bored
with their life savings in bedroom stocks
mattress meetings on Wall Street
pillow talk and flannel sheets
million dollar decisions
television is the answer
cable is the cure
what could be more predictable
than another Sally Jessie make over
oh yeah! bye bye insomnia
