Nights

Some nights I fall asleep really easily and some nights I don’t.
It’s been a long day. I have been awake since 5:30 this morning.
I didn’t get home from work until about nine.
As I lay here in the dark,
with an extra banker, because it’s chilly,
I can hear the cars on the highway.
You can hear the cars on the road near my home.
Sometimes you can hear the cars racing,
since that street is perfect for just that!
10:37pm I’m sleepy, wide awake and chilly.
I tried counting the cars, but I wish I was sleeping instead.
I sure hope it’s not going to be another sleepless night!
