these nights I can't sleep before 3
even when I have no reason
to stay up
no job to avoid
tomorrow
morning
I stay up and stare
at my phone
worry about things far away
won't even be close soon
tell myself I should
read a book I should
have a night routine I should
be asleep at an arbitrary hour
but I don't
do
any
of
that
so now it's 3
A.M.
and all I can hope
is
for deep vivid dreams
when sleep finally comes
