sleep machine 2

the fan whirrs near the door
a sound i've heard before
the window fights the breeze
it's nice on nights like these
they say that spring is here
but the crickets outside, i fear,
have forgotten how to chirp.

my sheets are tight and cool
and my body tries to fuel
no pillows, i don't like them
no lights lit, the moon's dim
i nod and doze myself
with a book pulled from the shelf
my sleep is full of whirrrrrr
my words may start to slur
