SLEEP, OH, SLEEP Too late to sleep Too early to be awake Doomed in sleep’s convoluted tapestry Sleep, oh, sleep I swoon over you nightly But like a glamorous young lady You continually play hard to get Leonard Cohen’s “deeper than a Siberian coalmine” voice didn’t sway you The boringness of my Epidemiology lecture notes didn’t persuade you Sleep, oh, sleep Why hast thou forsaken me? Drowsiness, red eyes and a face bereft of cheerfulness Are all that I’m left with On this long torturous day Many gulps of coffee won’t ensure wakefulness An hour-long bath in hot steam won’t alleviate the lethargy Only serene slumbers will be the panacea to the cephalalgy Sleep,oh,sleep Why hast thou forsaken me?
