Count a lie, but I can't lose the sleep

The sidewalk jackhammers arrived directly in front of our house on the dot of seven and persisted on our street until the point in the afternoon when they moved off to torment an audibly adjacent block. The shallow nightmarish gasps I slept in were not enough. I can't do another spring at this pitch of sleeplessness. I can still hear industrial whines and trucks beeping up.
