Now I SleepA Poem by Kenneth Stephen GoodpasterNow I Sleep
Cartoons sing looping jingles in my head While I ponder life goals for tomorrow But I really should get ready for bed As the night drags on painfully slow.
I lie down for a second, but for just Before a challenge of wits consumes Before I'm completely consumed by lust And check tricks for my peak that stoutly blooms.
Thoughts take flight, lose control, and crash upward And I spiral into utter madness With demented nonsense spattering outward. Then I feel a shoveling wave of sadness.
Now I sleep.
