It was relatively early
But my sleep patterns had gone curly
I needed to get more rest
Everyone said it’s for the best
And then a fire engine stopped
Just as I thought I’d dropped
to sleep but could not because they sat there for sometime in the road with that deep diesel engine running shaking the walls, filling my apartment rooms with fumes.
I’m afraid I really wept
When I should have slept
