insomnia


i tossed, i turned, like a horizontal top;
a breathless fish, struggling to find moisture.
the night darkness was in enmity with me,
i was restless, sleepless, alert, awake.
supine, prone, side-lying... all fuck'n useless!
under the sheets, perhaps, over the sheets?
clothe, topless, naked, then clothe myself again.
why tire myself playing this stupid game,
when all hope of me winning is but a dream?

I like how this presented sleeping as a game - like a wrestling match. The rhythm of the words also matched the quick and sudden movements.

When I read it again, I thought it could be about sex. Others might think other things which is good.

I like poems that seems to be something but could be seen as another.
