For the Sleepwalkers

    I found this poem interesting that the author would write an entire poem about sleepwalking.  This is a somewhat funny topic and I have slept-walk many times.  In his poem he often says,"we are leaving our bodies."  This is a different way of looking at sleepwalking because there isn't much control to it.  There must be some thought put into sleepwalking.  He says,"the worn path that leads to the stairs instead of the window."  That shows we are still thinking even though we don't seem to have any control of it.  He uses some alliteration during the poem when he says, "We have to learn," a couple times and he also uses other words such as, "our, darkness, and so much."  This poet displays his respect for sleepwalkers and how they do it in a kind of comical way.
