I LIE DOWN, once, twice
Roll over, three, four
Five times, six
Close the window,
Examine my conscience,
Blanket on, blanket off
Stomach, back, side
Eyes closed, open
Closed again, open
Clock-watching, sit
Wait, up, back down
Shiver, sweat, shiver, sweat
Chronic, minutes, passing
Slow-moving, never-ending
Ill-fated insomniac.
