[poem] An Anatomy of Sleeplessness
painsomnia, noun, inability to sleep
arising from somatic symptoms.
insomnianger, noun, inability to sleep
because of rage.
insomnia, noun, inability to sleep
for reasons unclear, or perhaps uninteresting.
Deferential diagnosis is required.
Morpheus' border guards delight
in lengthy - endless - questioning.
O innocents, ye need not be afraid.
It is the rest for whom these gates are barred.
& so beware, be wary: caprice
is the only arbiter of guilt.

I like the new vocabulary, and "deferential diagnosis" is brilliant. And yes, lengthy, endless questioning.

Just done the painsomnia thing myself, apparently my neck strenuously objects to consultants spending 5 minutes assessing my shoulder's range of motion, who knew!
