As An Insomniac

sleep is elusive
so as you lie there
in your bed you
allow your mind
to wander the roads
of Prague or a Venetian piazza
and then sweat through
the New York streets
on dog-day parades,
all of which is better
than sticking your eyelids
shut with a second-hand plaster.

Henry Bladon - Somerset, UK
