Go to Bed.

I can't sleep.

It is 1 AM.

And I can hear my husband breathing.

The house is quiet.  Hush...  you don't want to wake them,
It is the feeling that if you go to sleep...
                                           something will happen,
And you will miss it...
And you cannot get it back;

Stay up longer...shhhh...you'll wake them...
Stay up and wait for life to change,
something to happen,
earth to move,
Christ to return,
the cat to stop howling,
The center to cave in...
tick
tick 
tick



then nothing.
