How to fall asleep

Start counting sheep,
One...
Two...
Three...
Four...

Now, contemplate
All the problems of the universe.
Hold the weight of the world.
Pray for that girl in class,
    who has scars on her wrist.
Scold yourself for that awkward
     moment in the fourth grade.
Maybe shed a tear or two.

Now, now
You may,
If the gods are in your favor,
Fall asleep.
But if not,
Solve all the secrets of the
      universe in your dreams
