Exhaustion Unlimited
The weight of sleeplessness keeps me.
It holds me under, though I plea
for it to let me see the light of day.
The light of day assaults my eyes;
it mocks me from its holy highs,
and I cannot wait for the peace of night.
The peace of night finds me nervous;
quiet does me a disservice.
I’m afraid of the weight of sleep.
