Goodnight Goodnight

Sometimes I wonder,
what does it matter
if I wake up at
5 or 6?
Would it make
any difference
if the sun had
already risen,
as it drowns out
the city lights
in its warm glow?
What does it matter
if I went to sleep
at 7 or 8,
or even make it
as late as 12,
as everyone falls
into deep hushed 
conversations underneath 
the blankets
as if on cue.
Does any of it matter-
when do I wake
or when do I sleep-
when either way
I'd find myself alone
in this house,
with nothing but the
sound of my own voice
echoing back at me.
