Spindles & K-Complexes

A poem

Asleep

When I fall asleep, I start

Dreaming right away.

There is no science to explain it

Unless you’re less than five.

Though babies can bypass the first stages of sleep,

There might be a stage I will never surpass.

I guess I never graduated from that class

That teaches how to take your time —

Even when you sleep.

Awake

My mood shifts in a flash

Like K-complexes on an EEG.
