I think my insomnia started
because of nights like these...
Nights so hot and still
when I was a child
Perspiration oozing from my tender head,
running in my ears,
before air conditioning.
No breeze,
just a fan of little use
except to move hot air around.
Lying, trying to sleep.
A futile exercise,
as if trying could accomplish something
that happens passively.
