can't sleep

his sleep-function is broken
off the charts
we're not getting a good reading
it appears that's he's accessing
foreign chambers
as if re-wired
auto-programmed

someone stop that dog barking
it's interfering with my
frame of mind and besides
barking never drove any storm away
please, kindly illustrate that
there is a barrier
between itself and the raging sea
that violence is intangible
barring no one opens a door
you don't plan on going outside in this
weather, do you?
no, sir.
good.
did you ever think that she may be barking
because she's marooned inside?
don't be trite, lenny. i'll smack that smirk right off
your idiot cheeks.
