Never Sleep Before 3 a.m.
Empty
Empty
Empty
Empty
With something thick in the middle
Sliding from side to side like a dead rat.
Hollow head and limbs
Like too many organs and not enough b o n e s.
Dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
And it only took twenty minutes
Gutted by some unimaginable spoon-
The sleeping oblivious.
