How restorative a sleep can be
A small simulacrum of death
That better follows another little death
Than not
But if we think the thing
Like another
Is another
Metaphor instead of simile
Then every time we wake
We are zombies
Returned by means other than divine
Headshot
Double-tap
For an ending more permanent
Insidious chemicals and manipulations of energies
For control
And most of us do drudge about
Bound to patterns of being
Of doing
From which we benefit little
While others benefit much
How figurative is the figure?
