Florentine


Why are you still in bed Florentine

You sleep a great deal

I am up at the crack of dawn

Because I cannot be hit by a train

If I stay in my bed

What are those

Car headlights

Drivers use them at night

To ensure a safe journey

How fascinating

What are you reading

A short story by Guy de Maupassant

What is it called

Florentine

That is your name

So it is

A question

How do you read when you are asleep

I open my eyes
