I can’t sleep because
Jesus never plunged
a toilet and I don’t know
what that means

I can't sleep because
the only constant is change
and I like my face
the way it is

I cant sleep because
air planes aren’t all that great
and televison sends
my mind racing.

I can’t sleep because
I am only what the
world has made me
and they’ve a track record
for nasty inventions.

I can’t sleep because I neutered
my favorite cat and he left one night
and never came back.

I can’t sleep because my first love
was an infatuation
but I didn’t know it then
and now she’ll lose it
to somebody else
and I don’t know
why I care.

I can’t sleep because I’m not
so sure I’ll wake up tomorrow,
though there isn’t a reason
I shouldn’t.

I cant sleep because everyone’s
chasing a cheese they should
never have developed a tase for.

I can’t sleep because
since my first cigarette
I’m not comfortable
unless I’m killing
myself

I cant sleep because
I feel like my eyes
are already shut.

This is my favorite thing of yours you've written in a while. That very first stanza is very poignant, humorous but hinting at darker things, which is good. It's not too overt. The second stanza dilutes things a little. It seems (to me) too self-concerned, like it doesn't fit with the rest. The stanza about cigarettes is melt-your-face amazing.

Absolutely fantastic...I can relate to almost every line of this, and the ending sits perfectly.
