Not That Anyone Looks Forward to Sleep

Samuel Johnson
Refused to believe
Reports David Hume
Faced death serenely.

No atheist could
Possibly be calm
Contemplating hell
Or absolute void.

Probably, that night,
Samuel Johnson
Planned to get some sleep,
Another visit

To relative void,
And in the morning
Expressed annoyance
If he’d been disturbed.
