O Melatonin Dreamscape!
Although awake I lie,
I thank you for the safest place
to watch my parents die.
O Melatonin Dreamscape!
Where frightfulness does dwell.
You usher in a cold snap,
but I sweat like I’m in Hell.
Indoleamine Induction!
How I loathe you! You’re the best!
Seduce me into forty winks,
but you short me any rest!
Circadian timpanist!
You’re playing all alone!
If you can’t learn to read your score,
I’ll do it on my own!
I’ll take your wretched mallet,
and I’ll thrash the raucous head.
I’ll force the drum to play in time:
8 hours in my bed.
