Forty Winks Stinks

Can’t segregate the reason
for this spontaneous treason,
sleep’s been avoiding me.

Search for slumber
through the night,
while the clock
mocks,
racing
to the time
of alarm,
then s l o w i n g
to a halt
all day.

Then we do this rumba,
a bedtime rumble,
sleeplessness
and eye.

At least you're writing while waiting for that elusive sleep... leaving us with smiles. *G*
