It is so hot, that I can’t sleep. I just sit silently sweating. Till my gross oily skin Forces me to take My third or fourth Shower of the day.
I can’t sleep But laying in the darkness Through my partially open door Someone is passed out With someone they love Sleeping on my living room floor
I can’t sleep So I write what I do not want to keep Locked up in this hot head Not impatient or violent Almost feverish With summer’s sweltering abuse
I can’t sleep Because I do not trust These people I know Sleeping just beyond This wooden door If I opened it more I am sure it would not be bad The air is on But the troubled part Of my reptile mind Does not want to risk Any vulnerability
I can’t sleep And this is bothering me My own burden My own proclivity To endanger my sanity Because Because Because **** I don’t know why I just can’t sleep
