Falling Asleep

Lately I’ve been trying to catch myself
Falling asleep. This is harder than you might think,
Because it requires paying attention
When my mind is letting go,
A paradox in life.

I like it when I catch myself
Floating away. E.M. Forster said that
Novels do not tell well the reality of
Birth, food, love, sleep, death.

If I can catch myself falling asleep now,
I wonder if it will make the final sleep
More recognizable. Perhaps.
That would be the final paradox in life.
