    I had a thought or two, once again I’d misconstrue,
    It turns out it’s all true though I fought! I fought!
    This feeling, new to me; I’ll attest to its ecstasy,
    Arouse me from this dream, but did I sleep? Did I sleep?

    Untroubled, watered down, uncanny pleasant sound,
    Stand straight, so softly drown. Abound! Abound!
    I stayed awake too long, a shot rang out at home,
    Somnolent without a thought, though I fought! I fought!

    Sleep well tonight! Sisyphus fell tonight!
    Sleep well tonight! And would I ever tell you?
    And should I never tell you? And should I ever tell you? And could I ever let you know?

    I heard you lock the door, fall asleep at half past four,
    Was it new or new before, things I’d say? Things I’d say.
    Cymbaline with footsteps loud, in candle-lighted shroud,
    Drift away and sleeping soundly again and again.

    Wait so patiently. Speak so brazenly. Wait so painfully. Speak so shamefully.
