The relief at falling asleep can only be felt
on waking up, refreshed,
if even then: often the waking will be groggy.
Often, I'll only know I've slept
if I have also dreamt. That is my measuring rod.

I think of the absurdly detailed instruction manual
for the new water bottle, in several languages.
If I could cut through that bullshit, then maybe
other kinds, too, would be vulnerable
to my keen intelligence? Alas, no.
