never need to sleep again

never need to sleep again
will it and it could come true
the dream butterfly cloud passes
and everywhere plants grow ceaselessly
till the whole world's swallowed up

wrecking the fibres of the mind
by willfully unpicking happiness fret by fret
hard-fought for joy's hard spent, too
with the pleasure being to ransack your spread-eagled wallet for its every last scrap of fortune

die a whole lifetime to reach the top
only to jump off
never need to sleep again
if there's work to do
