Sleep (draft)

Sleep is no friend
I don't dream sweet dream
Only Darkish landscape

Twinge
Move this way and that

Friends smile but
Not sleep
Baring its sharp teeth
Showing off its fangs
You make sure my mates
are barred from this hinterland

Only bad guys are
given the swipe cards
I try to stay awake
Hour after hour
Because sleep will snatch you
away, with a snap of its fingers

In my weightless
downward journey
One by one, you go like background
Like when I'm on a train

(At McCafe again. Maybe I need the black poison to stay awake.)
