why can't I sleep tonight

Why can't I sleep tonight? 

Is it the coffee 

I had at 5,

the work 

I have not done,

the dreams 

I'm afraid I'll have? 

Is it the husband 

who's not home yet,

the baby who's 

tossing and turning,

the voices in my head?

Is it the movie 

I want to watch,

the thriller 

I want to read

the noises in the dark? 

Is it the workers

In their dorms 

Is it my guilt 

At being safe at home

While the workers 

Tremble in their dorms

Picking 

Maybe it's this poem

I need to write.

Why can't I sleep tonight?
