So To Bed

Before you go to bed—a user’s manual


Before you go to bed
listen to Aphex Twin;
not just any song,
but the Rhubarb hit.
Now let the air between your thoughts
become your only thought,
and let the fields somewhere afar
exist in your small room.
Your eyelids fall
as an embracing friend
and any troubled thought
becomes a friendly thought.
Tonight you win
because you sleep
among best friends.
