.  Fear of suicide, or,

     accidental death,

     is never given a

    moments thought.


    Yet, conventional

   dying preoccupies

    conscious minds

     before sleeping,


    which is, in effect,

     a metaphorical

  rehearsal, that only

  insomniacs,                                                                                       escape.
