Wide Awake


i can not sleep
though it is night;
my brain is to active
my mind sees light

apparently i drank
too much coffee today;
two black, two irish
too much for one day?

my heart pumps strong
each definite beat;
reminds me, soundly
that i can not sleep!

my head on my pillow
my body in bed;
how can i sleep
with this light in my head?
