Sleep Technicians

Prime VIP
At Jordan's Furniture the sleep technicians,
so says the ad, are pleased to offer us
the best line—kings, queens, doubles. Jordan's knows
mattresses; and, blessed with this omniscience,
its modern acolytes of Morpheus
are experts in the science of repose.

They may know mattresses. They don't know sleep.
Sleep is a gift from God. And even He
could send us, instead of springs and Polyfil,
cushions of ether spirited from the air,
and still—like the princess battered through a heap
of twenty royal featherbeds—and still
we'd lie awake. There is no warranty,
even at Jordan's, that covers the sleeve of care.
