when we all forgot

an evening lullaby would be suitable, i think
for being grown up is a tiring thing
with long, weary days and responsible thoughts
when we all forgot how to play
a mid-afternoon nap would be suitable, i say
for being awake is a tiring thing
with daydreams taking the place of our nights
when we all forgot how to sleep
a morning poem would be suitable, i bet
for being so brief is a tiring thing
with short, quickened breaks and rushed afterthoughts
when we all forgot how to speak
when we all forgot
