staying up

this one goes out

to the costume designer

who feeds her dog valerian root

so he calms down on the subway ride to work

i told you how

valerian root never works

for me, i have a big bottle and it

doesn't do a damn thing

i didn't want

to say how much i like

taking ambien and writing poetry

so i told you how melatonin sort of worked for me

and then i thought:

oh my god, i used to take

melatonin and now i like to take

ambien because i can't sleep—am i really okay?
