Circadia

An expensive retreat workshop

For my girlfriends who can’t sleep

We do a listless routineless 

Time blind flow 

Sleep as late as you can

When you’re up, please do whatever you want to do

And then join us in the study where we’ll read about sleep

And discuss the implications of the great thinkers’ thoughts

We’ll line up and take magnesium and valerian and 

If you’ve signed the waiver, the heavier stuff

Xanax and wine and the prescriptions and the ambien

Then we’ll lock you in your room with heavy curtains 

And white noise machines

We’ll count you down with stretches and meditations

When you’re up, come eat the perfect meal 

And drink the perfect amount of water

Write down every thought you think might keep you up tonight

Share with the group, you’ll feel better if you do

Then we’ll do sprints and push some tires and yell

Until we are just absolutely spent

Then bath time and tea

Milk and honey and a brief back rub over the PJs

We make our own rhythm with circadia and sun

We harness the darkness and 

Coax the veil between dream and wake

It’s guaranteed to work and worth the price

I promise
