Poem

The Laws of time seem elastic
In the long insomniacal night
That expands into an eternity
With no end seemingly in sight.
It’s  half past Wednesday week
By the real world’s steady clock
But in the land of the sleepless
A time check can bring a shock.

Although it seems so many hours
Since you looked to check it last
In the strange fugue of insomnia 
Just forty  second have passed. 
Bleary eyed and wakeful
Almost  begging for sleep 
Each long expanded moment
Is enough to make you weep.

The clock clicks back to normal
When it’s finally time to rise 
To go and  face the world 
Through sleep deprived eyes,
Fighting off that  urge to doze 
Until that longed for hour when
It’s time crawl back into bed and
Snap  back to wide awake again.

And, amazingly, inexorably, inevitably 
It’s once again next Wednesday week
Yet it never seems any nearer to that 
Blessed  sleep oblivion that you seek.
And the laws of space and time
Seem at will to contract and expand
As they hold a body in their thrall 
In  wide wake and sleepless  land.
