Relevant to Sleep

Relevant to Sleep
by dan ankers


Some try counting sheep
And I try counting breaths
Cause once the pillow hits my head
My film is playing fast


Like some sort of montage
From every single movie ever made
And some that I’m inventing
‘Cause my brain is unrelenting


There’s times I think, “Now, come on brain!”
What’s the possible relevance of that?
Other times, I just enjoy the ride
“Okay, show me more of that.”


My inner weirdness knows no bounds
Why just the other day
I wondered if the universe were made
Of layers and layers of ecosystems
Extending into immaterial realms
And what if just like we to insects
And them to microscopic life
In planes of ever-more complexity
(And not just size)
There infinite arrays of Un-ordinary life-forms
That Thrive


And this is just a small sample
A smidgen of an example
Of what happens to me
Even before
I catch my Z’s.
