Thoughts before bed.

By Sammy Ginsberg

Sleep persuade me.
I want to take action,
to stay up all night
and think marvelous thoughts,
and dream marvelous plots,
to be active and daring
and contemplate life.
But I know,
as soon as
the lampshade closes over my eyes,
and I am breathing blank pages...
One sheep,
and I'm gone.
