insomnia

it's all fun and games until you realize you don't ever sleep
it is the ability to hear the quiet sounds, to watch the sky for meteorites, lost airplanes, to hear the distant wail of lonely trains, owls and dark flying things
after a while, it's just staying up late
where does everyone else go when you are up all night
there are different people who live at night, bar tenders, bands, late night counter workers at all night fast food and convenience locations, who work for each other and for people with insomnia
and, of course, over the road truckers who work for everyone. 
These people only go to their late night places
The ones where people work at night
the ones who play at night only play at insomnia
They don't venture to the realm of the sleepless
the workers of the night, do not insomnia
for they sleep during the day and only share half the world of insomnia
The sun people are nowhere to be found
There is a lot of quiet late at night where daytime people live
Only the nighttime places provide companionship late at night
The world is abandoned by people who don't have insomnia
The world belongs to the people of the night, but only for a moment, it is borrowed
or it is a trespass, stealing into the daylight persons space
It is not a place for lovers, who are inside, in love, sleeping
When there was love in my life, I went to those places
Insomnia is a place for the lonely, the searcher, the vagabond, the traveler, the ghost, the outcast
Hospitals get quiet at night, unless you are trying to sleep.  A small cadre exists at every hospital whose job it is to wake up people who are trying to sleep, another group exists in the daytime who come up with reasons for the cadre to wake up the people.
