“SLEEP FAIRY” 19 Sep 01

At night,
whilst crouched in sleep
I take your rest, your relaxation
place exhaustion underneath your pillow

I take your broken dreams
and wake you in grey hours of dawn
I trade your hopes
for boredom & debt

Gratefully you wake
count yourself lucky
that you’ve still got a job
in this day & age
