Read the poem and answer the questions that follow.
Falling Asleep
I go to bed.
I close my eyes,
but specters in my mind arise.
I punch my pillow, toss and moan.
Clearly, I am not alone.
I crack an eyelid, scan the room –
that’s when I see dark shadows loom.
I rub my eyes, so hard they burn.
I crumple up my sheets and turn.
I struggle, wrestle through the night,
then, finally, at dawn’s first light:
as sunbeams ’cross my window creep,
I shudder twice and fall asleep.
