      Can't
      sleep...
      clowns
      will
      eat
      me.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Students,
      professors,
      and
      dif-
     
     
      ferent
      reasons
      look
      through
      the
      dark-
     
     
      ness
      with
      no-sleep
      air-eyes
      and...
     
    

    
     
      Little
      bodies
      with
      Sasquatch
     
     
      legs
      make
      haste
      in
      the
      day
      time.
      At
     
     
      night;
      brain
      lay
      there
      awake,
      staring.
     
     
      Chasm
      lids
      contain
      dry-eye
      and
      in
     
     
      overloaded
      midnight
      mind
      dances
     
     
      insanity
      creatures;
      lunatic
      sleep
      come
     
     
      in
      lucid
      dream
      after
      madcap
      rambling
     
     
      head
      kills
      body.
      Thus
      is
      sleep
      found.
     
    

    
     
      Students
      are
      always
      struggling
     
     
      for
      sleep;
      daytime
      trouble
      at
      night;
     
     
      morning
      cannot
      exist
      for
      these
      stu-
     
     
      dents;
      morning
      entails
      sleep,
      and
      sleep
     
     
      entails
      a
      relaxing
      of
      the
      mind;
      this
      is
     
     
      not
      allowed.

      A
      new

      professors
      sweat
      in
      their
      sleep,
      night-
     
     
      mares
      and
      blanket
      over
      body,
      head.
     
     
      Drool,
      whimper,
      the
      dying
      nightlight
     
     
      and
      hands
      to
      teddy,
      teddy
      to
      chest.
     
     
      Crying
      for
      God
      and
      running

      the
     
     
      bathroom...
      to

      present
      themselves
      in
      the...
     
    

    
     
      Heavy-duty
      pull-up
      pampers
     
     
      and
      children
      to
      tuck
      them
      in.
      Plastic

      visions
      and
      no-like
      that.

      always
      the
      same.
