Restless 2005

A Poem by Kieran James McGovern

RESTLESS

 

I’m not tired

So why go to bed yet?

When I’m tired, I’ll go to bed

Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Just because the whole world is sleeping

Doesn’t necessarily mean I have to sleep

Does it?

I’d just lay there

Lie there

Uncomfortable

No need to turn in yet

There’s a whole lot left

Every moment of consciousness makes me a moment older

And a thought wiser

It’s gratifying to reflect on that

If I was asleep, I wouldn’t notice it

And I wouldn’t feel the growing pains

At least I can feel when I’m awake

Am I right?

I like being awake

It’s not so bad

I’ll sleep later

Doesn’t that make sense?
