I go to sleep at
10 p.m
but lately it's more like
2 a.m.
because I don't want
to turn the lights off
I brush my teeth
every morning and night
but lately it doesn't matter
enough to me
because my breath will only again be soured
by bitter truths in the morning
I don't read or watch t.v.
before going to bed
but lately I've been
listening to children's stories
because they imitate the innocence
that was long ago stolen from me
