In Bed

“No one has yet determined what the body can do”
                                                  Spinoza, Ethics III, 2 schol.


In bed I sometimes ask myself
Why sleep is necessary
And then consistently doze off
Before I solve that query.

Next day, when I wake up, my quest
Tries to arise with me
But I’m too busy now to think
About it seriously.

The curious mind forms problems while
They seem to carry weight
And when I could find out, they are
Already out of date.

Can someone see a better way
To enshrine philosophy?
Fatigue and life’s distractions help
To keep alert and free.
