regular people

It is 3:48 a.m.
regular people are sleeping.
Proof that I am irregular
Just one more nail in my coffin
I stare at the clock
3:49, 3:50, 3:51, 3:52, 3:53
Maybe this will lull me to sleep
3:56, 3:57, 3:58, 3:59, 4:00
My whistling and wheezing have returned
4:03, 4:04, 4:05, 4:06, 4:07,
Twenty minutes of idiocy
Regular people are sleeping
