my favorite sleep aid



watching images on tv

and listening to its squall

clicking channels wide awake

i can't sleep at all

though i've tried-closed my eyes

it's only spurious sleep

brain stays on-won't shut off

thinking way too deep

bored to slumber-i drift away

from all that i detest

deaf to all the flashing babel

this sleep aid sure works best

Author's Note: Just a fun poem, based on an insomniac night.Reading can help, especially if it is a boring book. In reality,I seldom resort to the tv when dealing with angst related sleep problems. Listening to Wade's music is the cure and lures me to sleep like a lullabye
