i want to sleep in

I want to sleep in.
but can't.
I hear the cars out in the lot.
the birds
in the trees.
I hear
a truck and a man
coughing.i want to sleep in.
but I can't.
too much is going on
in my
attic.
too many bats and mice
are alive
and well in
the shadows of my mind.
I want to sleep in,
but I can't.
the bed is so warm,
the sheets soft,
the pillows hold my
head in comfort, but
i'm up. i'm up and into
the day.
