can't sleep,
these sheep i'm supposed
to be counting
rather than soothing
are particularly drowning.

overflowing my brain
not willing to drain.
flowing to and fro,
like the waves of the sea.
this sea of sheep 
engulfing me.

i'm counting them.
no.
they're counting me.

whatever could this mess be?
not able to sleep?
not counting sheep?
perhaps the thoughts lurking
within me.
can't sleep, can't sleep

why even try counting sheep.
