Be careful. Do not feed a bedsheet
a lamp; it’ll think the day’s not done.
Should you both not have the sun
in that barred eye with lock and key,
be careful. Do not feed a bedsheet
your eyes; should you not believe it,
darkness needs sight to receive it;
and thus grow tired and fall asleep.
Be careful. Do not feed a bedsheet
the sun; should barred eye unlock
set free the sight of every clock and
let the time descend from every wall
And (what you should not ever do)
is feed bedsheets at all.
