*On the Second Day*

We need medical disorders
Because what are we?
And from which sleep
Will we wake? Hell
With this neuropathology
Of manuscript wires.

Award us depression
And schizophrenia, certain
Disturbances of mood,
Reproductions, etc.
Provide us with information
to aid our silliest agonisms.

Our requirement
Of sleep maintenance is
In the brain, in
The brain where
Sleep is prescribed most.
Empirical evidence
Is needed to help us
Suffer. This is our image
Crying out on the image
Screen mail box.

Also, bring us some
Soil, some tin foil,
A glass of water
And maybe a clock.
Then in the morning
When the sun rises
We will choke on the cock.
