without sheets
so little to cover
what happiness
is worth containment
anyway
and even better
if it is not work at all
to guard this empty prison
read books all day
and cash the checks
if they come
or go to work
anyway
since there is little to miss
and thus
pay the bills
keep the heat
on
to stand in
for blankets
all too scratchy anyway
I sleep
smiles
or frowns
just to keep to the clock
yes
like rises
and sets
I see the sun
and I sleep
without sheets
