a haikutastic exploration into why i’m driving my lovely insomniac wife crazy
just breathe quietly
don’t make any sudden moves
I think she’s aaa-CHOO!
…
she lies teetering
on the precipice of sleep
but I have to pee
…
she must be out now
I’ll be silent as a mouse
eating this cookie
…
I’m stroking her back
soothing her fears and worries
must be strong for zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Dude. You are so ready to have children.

Yeah, but this journey into sleeplessness is a little disconcerting to My Lovely Wife, who is discovering that she doesn’t enjoy getting small incremental bouts of sleep and fears that children may take a wee bite into her REM sleep.
