Sleep Eater

You’ve been talking in your sleep.
You keep me up all night.
You keep me up all night.
Ambien makes you sleep eat,
and so you ate all night.
Yeah, you ate all night.
Telling jokes that lack a punch-line.
I laughed my head off.
Were you dreaming of me?
Were you dreaming about me dreaming?
Cereal in the shape of ghosts
melting in your milk,
melting in your mouth.
Fruit loops look like inner-tubes.
In your grandma’s pool were you floating around?
Were you dreaming about the graveyard?
If you were, I’ll sleepwalk there with you,
I dig tombstones too.
Eagles wearing women’s shoes,
stomping in the sky,
scuffing up the clouds.
Dogs turn into other dogs
in your neighbors yard,
they were barking around.
You were there shape-shifting too.
Now I trust you less than I did before.
But it’s not even your face anymore.
You’ve been talking in your sleep.
You keep me up all night.
