Another night of
 what they call the deep, slow-wave level
of sleep, teeming with weird
 little memes like massive schools
of tropical fish
 that flow and shimmer, twist and
churn in unison,
 somehow, deep down beneath the
waves of wakefulness
 (like they shared some kind of hive-
mind (who knows, maybe
 even mine?), right there above
sleep’s ocean floor with
  all its many mysteries
  and lost, forgotten treasures.
