Dreams Aren’t for You, Nor Sleep for Dreams

You don’t sleep so you can dream.
You don’t need to dream to sleep.

Small lives with small brains or none
At all have been shown to sleep.

Small beasts like worms pause their growth.
It could be the sponge needs rest.

Lives have guts that have no brains.
You need guts to go to sleep.

What goes on then in your brain
Are dark feints, lost fast, most strange.
