Choosing the right bed
for your longest nap
takes a lifetime:
shall it be firm or soft,
wide or narrow? Or are you
resigned instead
to sleeping wherever
you eventually fall upon
a flat space
long enough
to stretch out
and be silent?
No matter how you do this
you live toward your sleep
from your first waking.
Some choice,
some chance,
same sleep.
