IsomniaNight becomes morning when insomnia taps me on the shoulder like a forgotten appointment and says, in effect, 'Let's talk,' but remains silent forcing me to do all the talking, and the thinking, and the thinking. And he orders me around like a convert who has just learned the rules and believes he has the inside track, so when I put on the radio he orders me to turn it off 'No distraction from your thoughts tonight, not tonight, bud' he conveys somehow, 'You got away with that last night.' Only I don't remember last night and what I got away with so I feel cheated. He spends a lot of time with me-two, three nights a week-but he doesn't really love me, never acted like it or told me so, I'm just another guy to boss around. So, what's he want?
