A teacher of mine once asked
rhetorically
if we would sleep
if we didn’t have to
everyone shook their heads
wanting to please him
acting like those hours
were rubies
that floated away
each night
but I would pay
for the joy of slumber
mysterious pause button
portal to the aerial theatre
where all that is unsure in me
can sing and dance
practicing
for the light of day.
