asleep before ten

i tell myself,
you can stay up late tonight.
go ahead,
watch the late show,
or an old movie.
you don't have to get up
early.
you don't have to be anywhere
until elven a.m.
relax.
have a cup of tea,
put on your pajamas,
catch up on your reading.
do a cross word puzzle
but no.
as usual you're asleep
before ten.
