I refuse to sleep.

And waiting is night?

Oh, so you're doing haiku now? I like how the longest line ends with the word short. It's kind of ironic, and makes the short days feel like they actually drag out. And I like the inversion making night the last word, paralleling night coming at the end of the day, which is the first word of the clause. I'm probably over-analyzing it... Anyway, your haiku is awesome. :)
