Insomniac

The night is only a sort of carbon paper,
Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars
Letting in the light, peephole after peephole . . .
A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things.
Under the eyes of the stars and the moon's rictus
He suffers his desert pillow, sleeplessness
Stretching its fine, irritating sand in all directions.

Over and over the old, granular movie
Exposes embarrassments--the mizzling days
Of childhood and adolescence, sticky with dreams,
Parental faces on tall stalks, alternately stern and
tearful,
A garden of buggy rose that made him cry.
His forehead is bumpy as a sack of rocks.
Memories jostle each other for face-room like obsolete film
stars.

He is immune to pills: red, purple, blue . . .
How they lit the tedium of the protracted evening!
Those sugary planets whose influence won for him
A life baptized in no-life for a while,
And the sweet, drugged waking of a forgetful baby.
Now the pills are worn-out and silly, like classical gods.
Their poppy-sleepy colors do him no good.

His head is a little interior of grey mirrors.
Each gesture flees immediately down an alley
Of diminishing perspectives, and its significance
Drains like water out the hole at the far end.
He lives without privacy in a lidless room,
The bald slots of his eyes stiffened wide-open
On the incessant heat-lightning flicker of situations.

Nightlong, in the granite yard, invisible cats
Have been howling like women, or damaged instruments.
Already he can feel daylight, his white disease,
Creeping up with her hatful of trivial repetitions.
The city is a map of cheerful twitters now,
And everywhere people, eyes mica-silver and blank,
Are riding to work in rows, as if recently brainwashed.

- Sylvia Plath

perhaps the worst thing about insomnia apart from how
physically dreadful it makes you, is the tedium you
experience, that poem describes the state of mind quite
well, like a grey mirror, in the dark your world shrinks,
you just experience the noisy signal of photons hitting the
back of your retina and that's it/otherwise total blackness

of sound with a jet

Having strange humorous dream/sleeping thought that woke me
up laughing

Bruce Forsyth's corpse with a post rigor erection painted
blue, with a bandolier of lit firecrackers strapped to a
shaved ostrich let loose in the middle of war torn Lebanon,
I don't know why my brain contrives to make me laugh when im
trying to get a decent nights sleep

this is not my experience at all.

i'll lie down and a perfectly reasonable hour, and my brain
will be scrubbing around like a janitor on meth: i need to
do laundry tomorrow! i should talk to cow-orker x about work
issue y tomorrow! remember that flash cartoon we saw in high
school in the computer lab?

start with relevant to-do; degenerate into irrelevant
trivia. tell myself to shut up; go to sleep. lasts for 30
seconds

then sJSDFFJKSDG remember that OTHER flash cartoon we saw in
high school?

then i'm digging through my brain's debug logs: why that,
why now? it's so random. what triggered that particular
memory? i have to figure it out

quite frankly, i'll pour myself a glass of gin as i go to
bed. most days, i wake up, and most of it is still there.
it's just for when my brain won't fucking. shut. up

occasionally my mind is occupied like that, its usually when
im awake. When I try to sleep its like the most inane boring
limbo you can imagine, its quite torturous to be honest

yeah it was funnier than the description, have you ever
woken yourself up laughing? and then your gf goes what you
laughing about? and you say you cant really explain or just
say dunno
