"Fido"

In the lines "Wide awake, stayin' up late / Wishin' I was not" in "Fido," there are some poetic features that complement the meaning.  There's assonance between "Wide awake" and "stayin' up late," which highlights the relationship between the two phrases, and all of this contrasts, both semantically and poetically, with "Wishin' I was not."
