"sleep gay"?

[Mark A. Mandel]

Wilson Gray writ:
>>>

Doesn't anybody else remember "act / talk / live, etc. black and sleep
white" from the 'Sixties? It looks like ordinary BE syntax to me: "(live
straight and) sleep gay." I've just awakened from a nap, so I may be missing
the point as a consequence of not being fully alert. If I am missing it, you
know what to do.

Sleeping day, Wilson?
